You'll find it on the Help menu, but it doesn't matter because it is *not*
the solution to your problem, which has been offered twice already.

I'm embarassed to say that I don't even know what Detect and Repair is.
I'll look it up in Word 2002 help.

Thanks for the tip.

Hi,

I use MS Word 2002, running in Win XP Pro, SP1.

Recently, I wanted to underline the first sentence in a document,
and
only
that sentence. I highlighted and pressed the "U" button on the
formatting
toolbar. The sentence was underlined, but so was everything else in
the
document. I clicked the "U" button again, and all the underlining
disappeared, including the underlining I wanted.

I had the same experience when I decided to center the title of the
document. I highlighted it, pressed the buttion for "center", and
the
whole
document became centered.

Is this something that's meant to happen in Word 2002? Apparantly
not,
because the Help files say that only the highlighted words should
change
when one presses a formatting button. It's certainly different from
the
way
previous version of Word have worked. How can I underline or center
just one
line?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you try Detect and Repair?
