Default Single format change - changes whole document...

I have been using Word for 15 years - and consider myself to be close to
being a power user. However this error has be preplexed and confused.

If I change single formatting, doesn't matter if high highlight the text or
just keep the pointer in single space, it changes all the text in the
document to that.
For example, if I want to have one line centered, it will center the whole
text.

The even STRANGER thing is - that if I press undo - it will change all the
other text to previous position, expect the text I want to change.
This makes me think that this is some sort of setting that I've never heard
of.

Please help....

Hi Garfield...

Thanks - I've been using styles for countless years, and even pressed the
Automatic update (which I thought meant you updated the entire sheet to the
formatting you were just doing within styles....) - and never have I had this
problem before.

But great...... This fixed it.

Take care,
