Page Formatting Preferences Seem To Have Changed

[wanderingsheri]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Using Word 2004 for Mac version 11.5.6 - For example, I cannot make one line align center with Georgia font and then drop a couple of lines and switch to left alignment and Arial font. Whatever change I make, whether what I am seeking to change is highlighted or not, the entire document changes.

This used to work fine so it seems like a preference must have changed but I can't figure out how to change it back. Really, really appreciate some advice! Thanks!!

You have mistakenly enabled "Automatically Update" for the style that is
formatting your text.

Switch it off again, and all will be well.
