Selecting text in a document
When I highlight a document-part that I want to change the format of, and
click on the button corresponding to the change, the entire document changes to the format that I wanted for only the highlighted part of the document. I must then follow this aberrant universal-document change by clicking on the €śundo€ť button, whereby occurs the initial formatchange that I wanted. Why does this happen? How can I format changes without having to resort to the €śundo€ť button for the changes to occur? Mal |

Graham, the Modify Style box in Word O7 doesn't have an 'Automatically
update' check box. Consequently, I couls not proceed with the instructions given in your URL.
