Whenever I highlight a line of text (including the paragraph marker at the
end) to apply formatting such as bold or underline, Word 2003 automatically
applies the change to the entire document. Hitting 'undo' then changes the
rest of the document back, while leaving the highlighted bit formatted as was
my original intention.
Is there any way to break Word of this annoying habit?
