All Formatting Changes when I change 1 Paragraph

[Kate]

Help!!! When I am working on a Word 2003 doc. and change the formatting of 1
line, the entire document assumes that formatting style! I have to hit the
"Undo" button, and the remainder of the document returns to its previous
formatting, and only the area 1 wanted to change actually remains changed.
This is most frustrating when I want to change several types of formatting.
For example, if I want to bold and center a heading, I highlight ONLY the
heading. I hit "Bold" and the entire doc. becomes bold. I then hit "Undo"
and all but the heading return to their previous non-bold font. Then I have
to repeat the process for "Center." Anybody have a clue why this is
happening????
