To turn off Automatically update for all paragraph styles in a document, you can
run the following macro:

Sub TurnOffAutoUpdate()
Dim s As Style
For Each s In ActiveDocument.Styles
If s.Type = wdStyleTypeParagraph Or _
s.Type = wdStyleTypeParagraphOnly Then

s.AutomaticallyUpdate = False

End If

Next s
End Sub

Most styles are based on Normal. If Normal has somehow been changed to update
automatically, then this setting may be propagated to the rest. In theory,
changing Normal would change the styles dependent on it, but in practice this
seems to affect only previously unused styles, so it's no help for styles in
existing text.

Thanks for this. Is there any way to stop all styles from updating
rather than one at a time?

I write quite long documents (50 to 60 sides) using Word 2007. I
quite
often need to use formatting such as bullets or numbering. However, I
note that changing bullets on one page changes a whole bunch of
bullets
(or even removes them completely) elsewhere. I can't see this
immediately as I am on one page while the changes are elsewhere. How
can I stop Word from doing this? I know that sometimes control-z gets
rid of surplus formatting but I surely don't need to do this every
time?

I have tried to look at some pages explaining bulleting in word -
they
make little sense to me. All I want to do is to change the formatting
on one page without messing anything else up. Why does Word seem to
want to change styles affecting the whole document when you only want
to change the text in question?
