Default How do I turn-off global formatting and indent?

Word 2007 - When I highlight a paragraph to reformat (make bold or itallics
or indent) the whole document reformats. How do I turn this off? I only want
the highlighted paragraph to change.

I followed the directions and still get the same result. Also I don't have a
Style button under my Home Tab on MS Word 2007

I don't see any mention in that article of a "Style button." There is a
reference to the Styles group on the Home tab (and the dialog launcher in
same). But if the problem is occurring with the Normal style, you'll need
the macro, anyway.
