Formatting being applied to entire document

[Kylor]

The probem that I am having is when I am trying to apply some formatting
option to one line (for expample bulleting a single line) Word 2000
applies a bullet to EVERY line in the document!

When I use the undo feature the extra bullets are removed and only the
one that I originally wanted appears correctly. The same thing happens
when I bold something.

This also happens with other formatting options. It is really
frustrating and time consuming because it takes a while to apply the
unwanted formating to large documents and takes equally as long to
remove them.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I certainly hope that someone comes up with a solution.

works. Here it is:
