Word 2003 Pro - Formatting funny 1

[TrevorUbi]

I have just installed Microsoft Office 2003 Pro on a PC. I am using Word, and after I have typed my text, I like to format the text. I select the words I would like to be bold or underlined, however, after selecting such words, and click on the bold or underline button, the WHOLE document becomes bold or underlined.

My question is, has anyone seen this before and if you how have to stopped this from happening?

Any help please.

Have you any macros running in the document?

No. This is a new installation.

Hi,
I know it's a new install, but try running the Detect and Repair under the Help menu.
HTH,

I don't have 2003, but have encountered same behaviour on previous versions, where the reason were that the styles had the "Automatically update" check box selected.

Don't know the layout of 2003, but the styles should be available thru format menu or some style task pane, select modify on for instance the normal style and check if the setting. If it's set to "Automatically update", then when unchecking, perhaps also consider checking the "Add to template" check box too, so this change is also stored in the template.

If this is the issue, perhaps also check the rest of the styles you use.

One thing my clerk found was that turning off all the reviewers in the "Reviewing" toolbar prevented other users from viewing markup formatting. We just switched to Office 2003 sans documentation! It's been interesting albeit frustrating at times; however, I work in Access most of the time and like the new features in 2003.
