This just started happening. Whenever I make a simple Format/Paragraph
change (for instance, adding: Page break before), Word automatically does an
Automatically Update Style. All I have to do is to back up 1 teim on the
Undo list (where Automatically Update Style is indeed listed), and everything
is fine. I get my page break before, but revert back to the proper paragraph
style.

I have no boxes checked in the Tools/Auto Correct Options/AutoFormat as you
type, except those at the top having to do with fractions and quotes. So why
is Word updating my style in this and other 'simple change' instances?
