2013 Wordart - Text Effects - Transform - Warp - Affecting All Text Instead of Just the Selected Text

In the new 2013 version of WORD, Wordart features work differently than the old 2010 version and it appears there might be a problem with one of the features. I have multiple lines of text in a text box and only want to change one of those lines using the Wordart features. If I select the line I want to change and select the Text Fill or Text Outline effects, only the selected text changes and that is the way it should work. However, if I select the line I want to change and select one of the Text Effects/Transform/Warp effects, it changes all the lines in my text box instead of just the line I selected. Is this a bug with the Text Effects/Transform/Warp feature? If not, how do I get that warp to just transform the text I selected?

Answer
I'm looking at both Word 2010 and Word, 2013, and they both behave the same way. The warp effects apply to everything in the text box, in both versions.

To get the warp to apply to one paragraph, cut or copy the paragraph to the clipboard. In regular text, insert a WordArt object, and paste the copied text to replace the placeholder "Your Text Here". Apply the warp and whatever other formatting you want. Cut the WordArt object from the regular text and paste it into the text box.
