Bolding or underlining just one phrase, not whole document

[leo-iii]

I am puzzled by a problem that has been occuring only since I switched to
word 2003. When I select some text and bold it, or underline it, that is
applied to the whole document. I assume that there is some option that I
must switch off.

How do I make it do just my selection?

Thanks.

You're very welcome. Glad to hear there's someone *in* New Orleans. <g> Can
you believe we're having our first Mardi Gras parade here this weekend? I
think this whole thing has gotten out of hand.

It seems more likely that the OP is seeing the effect described at

But considering the original message is 5 months old, I hope the OP has
found a solution by now.
