format change on line changes entire doc

[TPS]

I think I have a problem with my template or style definitions. A fe
weeks ago this problem started and I can not find how to stop it, no
it is happening on other peoples systems whom I share documents with.

When you change the formatting (font, color, bullet, indent, etc) o
any line, the formatting is applied to the entire document. Th
solution is to "undo" and the formatting is only applied to the lin
selected... example:

i insert a bullet point in front of an existing sentence by clickin the bullet point button
each paragraph in the entire document is now bulleted
click "undo" and all bullets are removed from all paragraphs excep

the one orginally intended to be bulleted

The same behavior happens with all other formatting options....

Where do I need to fix this??? Its driving me nuts. I've screwed u
entire documents and have had to re-format others 4-5 times to get th
formating correct due to all the "format" "undo" "re-do" etc going on
