Whilst working with microsoft word on a network, I am continually frustrated
at changes being made to the normal style. I work with many new users who
have not been introduced to styles. Repeatedly when they apply a change to
text formatting (using Word XP) it applies those changes to all of their
document as it automatically applies a change to the normal style. The
operator must then click undo automatically update style, which returns the
normal style to the remainder of the document applying the changes only to
the selected text. When this occurs in a very long document, this change can
take a very long time.
To try to prevent this using the Tools AutoCorrect Options ... and
selecting Autoformat as you type and making sure that the "define styles
based upon your formatting" is unchecked; these changes still occur. How can
I stop these changes happening.
