When I select part of my text in Word 2007 to change the format (i.e. make it bold), it somehow applies that format to the whole text. When I press "Control-z" once, it will remove the bold from the entire text and only leave my selected version bold;
if I hit "Control-z" a second time all the bold is gone. So somehow Word applies my Bold to the whole document even though I selected a portion, but at the same time it treats this command as two steps in one, first making my selection bold and then making
the whole text bold. This problem occurs consistently over different documents, after restarts, etc. Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong and what I can do to make the formatting apply to the selection of text, not the whole text?
With the insertion point anywhere in the line, press Enter.
Switch back to the document and test whether the problem has been solved.
Also open the default template Normal.dotm, do the same as the above, then close and save it.
Or run the following macro:
Sub FixNormal()
Dim doc As Document
Set doc = NormalTemplate.OpenAsDocument
doc.Styles(wdStyleNormal).AutomaticallyUpdate = False
doc.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
