Help: Word is changing the formatting all over my document

[Rich Potash]

I am having a strange problem with some of my Word
documents. I have a one-page document. If I select one of
the paragraphs in the middle of the document and type Ctrl-
B to set the bold font, Word inverts all of the text in
document, including the headers. All non-bold text in the
document becomes bold and all previously bold text in the
document, e.g. headers become non-bold. If I pull-down the
style list I notice the style has been re-defined to non-
bold.

If I have a bulleted list in the body, select one of the
items, and do Ctrl-B, all the items in the header become
bulleted and boldface.

Help, I have no clue what's going on here.
