Formatting in general.

[Vicente Valjalo]

I am working in a document and I select a given word to add bold or
underline format. While I do this the entire document assumes that
formatting (Bold or underline) then I undo and the original word remains
with the format and the other parts of the document get back to their
original format.

Any help?

Thanks.

Vicente.

This sounds like an automatically-updating style problem to me. This
will be approximate as you didn't say what version you're in. First,
find out what Word thinks it's doing. Rather than clicking the undo
button directly, click on the little tab next to it to see the list of
actions. I bet it says auto update style or some such (it's actually
making two actions when you think it's making one -- hence the reason
you can undo one step to get what you wanted in the first place). If
so, go to Format -- Style, then select whatever style you're in, click
Modify and unselect "Automatically update". Repeat for all styles.
Always keep this unchecked: it's a nightmare!!!
Hope this helps, Andy
