Word and inserting files

[Mungo]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I often make up a combined file from smaller files (or chapters) when completing uni assignments. I have noticed when using Office for Mac that when I change font sizes or font displays for some highlighted text, the whole document changes. This slows up the whole process as I have to continually check the whole document. Any clues?
