MS Word document commands goes up the document or changes document format up the document when the document "all" is not selected.

MS word document commands goes up the document not the point where the command is started.

Example:  Highlight a single line and change text font color to blue.  All the text going above that

command changes to blue.  I have to undo that step then the line that was previously selected

change to blue text.  Then continue sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

Example:  I indent a set of lines after selection (highlight) with mouse.  All the lines of the document

indent when the whole document was not selected.

Comments:  I'm not sure if I mistakenly have embedded a command somewhere on the document.

I tend to cut/past section and formats from other documents rather starting from scratch.

I thought from the very beginning of document type of applications a command does not go

up a document but format changes only occur at the point of where the format change is

started and end where the format change is ended.  It never goes up the document unless

the whole document is selected for the format change.

Question, what is happening and how do I turn it off?
