Issues with new document in Word 2007
The user has two documents open in Word 2007. He is copying and pasting from
an existing document to a new one. Here are the problems that he is having with the "new" document: 1) If he selects one word to make Bold then ONLY that word will be affected. However, if the user chooses more than one word to Bold then the entire page becomes Bold. The user will then utilize the "Undo" feature and what he originally wanted to be Bold turns out that way. 2) Bullet points: The user will place his cursor next to a sentence, click on the Bullet point option, and the entire page has bullet points. However, when the user then uses the "Undo" feature then only the sentence he originally wanted to have a bullet point will have one. I'd appreciate any help that can be provided regarding this matter. I'm not sure if the copying and pasting from the existing document is what's causing this strange behavior. |

Issues with new document in Word 2007
Hi,
I have never experienced a problem like that in Word. There are two things you may want to do/check: 1) Check: check if your keyboard has sticky keys, maybe the shift key or something else may be triggering that. 2) Go to the original document and remove any kind of text formatting rule(bullets, bold text and spacing). Copy and paste the plain text onto your other document and see if you still have the same problem(you can always bullet and put text back to its normal position using the text format in Word). Hope this helps. If you are having the same problem, check if your documents are from past Word versions; maybe there are some compatibility issues...
