Haven't got Word 2000 open to check, but it's probably the AutoFormat As You
Type setting to automatically apply Heading styles.

I'm using Word 2000. Suddenly, whenever I press Control+B to apply
direct formatting, I get a heading style -- sometimes heading 2, 4, or
6. The bolded text then shows up in the document map. I do not want
to apply a style.
I have confirmed that Control+B is assigned to Bold format. What
is going on? How do I fix it?
