Default Formatting Applied to Entire Document - Word 2007

This appears to be a bug in Word 2007.

I highlight text and apply formatting to it--in my case, either centering
the specific text or underlining it.

Word immediately applies it to the entire document following the passage of
text instead of only the text I highlighted.

I click the undo button, and it stops formatting the rest of the document
and only formats what I selected.

However, it only does this with a style and template I created in an earlier
version of Office; the document is in the newer file version. If I just
start typing in a document with the normal style and duplicate the same
thing, it behaves as if it's supposed to, only changing what I highlight. It
appears that something may not be converting properly from the versions.

I work regularly with styles and have not experienced this prior to upgrading
to 2007.

Believe me, it was *very* common in Word 2002 (for which the article was
written) and I think also in Word 2003. It is most likely a result of
interference by some poorly written add-in.
