Formatting glitch

[E Berlin]

My copy of Word 2003 is doing some very undesirable auto formatting. If I'm
in a document and I attempt to apply formatting to a small section of text
the formatting is automatically extended to the entire document. A typical
example of this is if I try to create a single-item bullet list.

I can undo this action with the "undo" command, but when I'm doing a lot of
formatting I have to perform this undo over and over again. It's incredibly
annoying.

I've attempted to go into autocorrect and other places where formatting
options can be set and eliminate autoformatting, but nothing seems to stop
this from happening.

In fact I'm having all kinds of problems with Office 2003 that I never had
previously.

insert a continuous break at the place in your document where the new
formatting is to occur and when complete, insert another break and revert
back to the previous formatting style.
