Styles created on any format change

[Jac Tremblay]

I'm new to Word XP but an old timer on older versions.
Every paragraph in my documents are formated with some
user style. When I apply a change on a paragraph, a new
style is created which is not what I want. When I did that
in Word 2000, the paragraph format was just different for
that particular paragraph (different than the style
specifications). If I reselected the style name in the
styles list, I was asked I wanted to change the style or
to reapply the style. Now, in Word XP, if I delete the
newly created style, the paragraph returns to the Normal
style which is not desired.

Is there a way to tell Word not to create styles on each
format modification I make?

Thanks.

These are not styles but "formatting." Clear the check box for "Keep track
of formatting" on the Edit tab of Tools | Options, and you won't be bothered
by these "styles."
