Word 2003: Every time I want to bullet a selection of sentences, the entire
document gets bulleted. I have to hit the CTRL-Z key to back out the changes
so that just the list that I have previously selected is bulleted.

This happens with bolding a single word, changing margins, changing font
size for selected text, and on and on. How do I get Word to stop second
guessing me on every format item I do? I don't need its help. I am sure
there is some option to turn all this crazy stuff of so that I can get my
work done. I spend more time fighting with Word to get the formatting and
other work accomplished than it helps.

Will someone help me get out of this Word jail! It is holding me hostage to
its idea of what I want to do and not letting me do what I want.
