Default Paragraph Selection Behavior

(Paragraph styles only)

In Word. if I have nothing selected and change the style, the style
applies to the entire paragraph.
If I partially select two paragraphs and change the style, the style
applies to the entire paragraphs.

If I partially select text in ONE paragraph and change the style, I
get a *******ize half application of the style (apparently treating it
like a character style).

Is there any way in word to customize to change the last behavior so
that it would apply to the entire paragraph?

There's not much you can do about it. You really need to ensure that you
select the final paragraph marker to stop this happening. Turning off 'Keep
Track of Formatting' sort of helps by hiding the *******ized style, but it
is still there.

In Word 2007, there's a check box at the bottom, "Disable linked styles" --
which is the technical term, though I like "*******ized styles" better
g -- that gets rid of the problem completely.
