Layout changes should only apply to the selected text.
When I try to make a layout change to one part of my document (such as
indenting long quotes for a research paper) the program attempts to apply the layout change to the ENTIRE DOCUMENT. This is incredibly frustrating and time consuming to fix. Additionally, I find that as I fix it, for some reason extra lines are added to my headers, which only throws off the overall layout of the document more. All I ask is that Word *NOT* attempt to apply a simple change to the entire document, when it is clearly intended for a HIGHLIGHTED SECTION OF TEXT. It's almost as if in making Word more user-friendly, it's actually become more difficult to work with. If Word were a physical object, I probably would have thrown it out a window in frustration by this point. |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm. Note
that this is not a default setting; an add-in is suspected of changing it. -- Suzanne S.
