Stop automatic style definition

[Greg]

In Word 2002 I can't stop a new style from being
automatically defined. For example, I have a custom style
CRM_VarList and if I turn on bolding, as soon as I type a
letter it creates the style CRM_VarList + Bold.

Under Tools|AutoCorrect options|Autoformat as you type, I
have "Define styles based on your formatting" unchecked.
Also, in the style pane under
CRM_VarList|Modify, "Automatically update" is unchecked.
It's also unchecked on the style that CRM_VarList is based
on. What to do?

Thanks.

Hi Greg

What you're seeing isn't a style. It's a combination of a style + direct
formatting that you've used.
