| 221765 | 2004-03-11 09:48:00 | I am experiencing the following unusual behaviour in Word: When I highlight and change the heading of a page of text to bold, the whole document changes to bold. I then have to click 'undo' to correct it. It is quite annoying to click 'undo' whenever I just want to bold the 'Heading' only. I could however, type the 'Heading' in the same line as other text, and change the Heading word(s) to bold, then hit 'return' after the 'Heading word(s) - to make the 'bold' words my heading. Can someone kindly enlighten me of the above problem? May be there is some setting somewhere in Word to correct this problem. Cheers |

I tried but it still doesn't work. It's strange that when the Heading has more than certain number of words (or characters), it works normally. But when it is just a few words, then the whole document becomes bold. This applies to other formatting like Italic, underline, etc. Any ideas? |

| 221769 | 2004-03-11 23:55:00 | All I can think of is that you have the same style for all of your paragraphs and the style is set to update itself whenever you make any changes to a paragraph. Try giving your heading a new style name different to the rest of the document and then format the text. |
