Define Styles Based on Formatting

I have turned this off, and all the other pertinent AutoCorrect options as
well, but when I change the font for all text in a paragraph, the font still
changes in the paragraphs following (when that is not necessarily what I
want to do).

And yes, I have read the "Tame AutoCorrect" page on the MVP site (which, by
the way does not display in Safari)

David,

Could you provide more information (including version of Word)? Just be more
specific about what you want to do and what you've experienced. I (and
others) need to understand the problem before suggesting an answer; having
to address a range of possible scenarios takes time I don't have. To give
some leads, I've made some comments below.

* If you post a question, keep re-visiting the newsgroup for a few days
after the first response comes in. Sometimes it takes a few responses before
the best or complete solution is proposed, and sometimes you'll be asked for
further information so that a better answer can be provided. Good tips about
getting the best out of posting are at

directly (although that would be exceptional). Please note that e-mails
with an attachment will be automatically rejected.

* If anyone is still reading down this far, here's a question: is it time
for you to back up your Normal template and all your Word settings files?
(This should be on a medium other than the internal hard drive and, if you
also want to protect against theft and fire, stored in a different
building.)

Does that mean you are talking about the style for the next paragraph, i.e.
after you hit the Return key, being different from what you expect?

Or is a manually applied formatting (e.g. emboldening) that you are applying
to text being applied to all text in that style?

Or is it something else?
(when that is not necessarily what I want to do).

What do you want to do, please?
