I have Word XP. Every time I type a sentence or phrase and "Return" a couple
of lines, the text that I have typed changes from my origonal font and size
(Normal) to a Style-- "Heading 1", Arial, 16. I am going crazy! How can I
change this to stay in my default mode until I make any changes?

In Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoFormat As You Type, turn off the
option for "Built-in heading styles".

You can avoid a lot of other headaches by turning off most of the
other options in that tab, too. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...AutoFormat.htm for
discussion.
