Body text
Hello,
In the spirit of "there's no such thing as a stupid question", is it possible for body text style to apply itself. -- Thanks, MarkN |

Yes, Body Text (as well as other built-in styles) might be applied
automatically by Word. To stop it from happening, clear the "Define styles based on your formatting" option on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options. Actually, it's a good idea to disable most of the options in that dialog box, except for the ones listed under "Replace as you type". See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MarkN" wrote in message ...

Body Text may also be selected as the "Style for following paragraph" for
another style, such as a heading style. I have modified most of my heading styles to be followed by Body Text rather than Normal. -- Suzanne S.

So the culprit wasn't Word, but one of its styles! :-)
