Default Auto Formating Problems

Okay maybe I am stupid,
I installed Office 2007,
I then started typing a document for work.
After I got the document typed
I began formating and 2007 did do this by default.
So I wasted money in the upgrade.
I can also re-create it by copying text from a text file in a new word 07 doc,
and start formating it does the same thing
Very frustrating when you have spend hours formating then
auto format redoes everything you did.
and then you cant get it back
I work for a large corporation of over 100,000 employees worldwide and I
don't have time for this, I recommended to our IT not to upgrade.
We are a fast paced industry that doesnt have time for nonsense like this.

Nice but in word 2007 it does it for every style there are hundreds of
them
per document there needs to be some global setting..
I'm going back the upgrade was a big waste of money and loss of
productivity
and efficiency

When I change a word or words to bold every thing else in the document
becomes bold, (or to what ever I did, i.e. underline, etc for
formattting)
I have to press undo several times

If I change some text to be bulletted everything becomes bulleted.
I press undo and all my prior bullets are gone.

I finally went back to word 2003 because it doesnt have this problem.

I wasted 6 hours trying to do a doc in word 07 which took me 15
minutes
in
word 03
