As far as I know I am using the normal doc template. When I type a document
and then start to change aspects of it such as making headings bold,
underlining or changing font colour, it changes the whole document and I have
to click on undo to change just the section I want to change. This is time
conusming and irritating. It seems to happen after a document is saved and
re-opened too.

What do I need to go back to the default word template, with just Arial as
the default font and normal at 11pt?

Hi Janet,

It's because whatever 'Style' Word is using for the paragraph concerned is formatted to 'automatically update'. You can stop this
via Format|Style|Modify. However, it's far better that you learn how to use Styles to manage your document's formatting than to keep
overriding the Style formats.
