Default bolding highlighted words bolds all text -- why?

Suddenly, when I highlight a few words then select bold, ALL of the text in
the document changes to bold type. This is the first time I've seen this
happen. I haven't changed programs or anything. Any ideas on what is
happening?

It sounds like the style being used is set to Automatically Update. See if
this describes your problem and the solution:
