Default How to prevent a format change from applying to the whole document

Let's say I select a paragraph of text to make it red. The whole document
then becomes red !

I have to do ctrl Z to only apply the formatting to the selection, but this
is dangerous on long documents.

Does anyone know how to only apply a formatting to the selected text?
