Styles and formatting are so frustrating!!!
I'm at my wit's end with Word. I'm using Pro 2003 and I'm literally
ready to throw it away and go back to a typewriter. Why does the use of styles and formatting have to be so frustrating? Ok, first page of my document has a huge one-word title centered on it, under it is a centered subtitle. After that, I added a new page break to go to page two of the document. On page two, the formatting is still set to the what the subtitle was on the previous page. Any changes I make on the second page to the text formatting is applied to the title and subtitle of the first page, and no matter what I do, I cannot get it to stop doing this, and I'm getting just a little upset. In other documents, this behavior has wrecked pages upon pages of my work. I make one change to the text format, like the justification, and dozens of pages get changed. Is there any way for Word to understand that I just want to change the formatting WHERE MY CURSOR IS and not the entire document?! |
