How do I stop formatting commands from affecting whole document?
I have a problem with Word 2003 applying formatting commands to the entire
document instead of just the current paragraph. For example, if I want to add a paragraph (not numbered) to a numbered list item, I hit enter (gives me next numbered list item) then click the "Numbering" button to turn off numbering. Instead of just turning off the current number, every numbered item in the document is turned off. If I click the "Undo" button, all numbering is turned back on except for the paragraph I wanted off. On large docs, this gets ridiculous. This is somehow related to a messed up Normal.dot template, because if I use the Normal.dot template from work, I don't have the problem. But I can't fix existing documents, even by copying text to a new document that started OK. |
