When I change the format of selected text (like centering a heading) it
changes the format of the entire document (centers all text in document).
How do I turn this off?? It is very annoying!

Thanks,
Jac

If you have Word 2003 or earlier, open your document and turn off
"automatically update" in the style definitions as described in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm .

If you have Word 2007, click on Office Button | Word Options | Popular |
check the "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" box | OK. Then open your
document and click on Developer tab | Document Template | Templates tab
| uncheck the "Automatically update document styles" box | OK.
