Bold/underlining the whole document when I don't want it to.
In Word 2003, when I try to highlight and bold (or underline or center, etc.)
just one particular phrase of sentence, it makes the change to the entire document. How do I turn this off? I've tried turning off auto format and that doesn't seem to make a difference. |

Sounds like your Style is set to update Automatically.
Click on some of the text this happens to. Then, go to Format | Styles and Formatting A Task Pane should appear on the right side of the screen. Without clicking, move your mouse pointer over the White Box beneath Formatting of Selected Text. A Drop-down arrow will appear at the right edge of the box. Click on the arrow and then choose Modify. Near the bottom right side of the dialog, you should see a check box next to Automatically Update. Uncheck it, then try applying your formatting again. tj "kbesel" wrote: In Word 2003, when I try to highlight and bold (or underline or center, etc.) just one particular phrase of sentence, it makes the change to the entire document.
