MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / January 2004stop automatic style updating
every time I make a formatting change to a word or phrase in my documents the entire document changes to that formatting. The only way I can undo it is to go to "edit, undo automatic style updating" (or press Ctrl-Z). I've gone through each element of my styles and the "automatic style update" is not checked in any of them, nor are any of the options under "format, autoformat, options, autoformat" checked. any ideas on how to stop this annoying behavior?

Thanks to you both. The problem was that I hadn't been able to modify the "normal" style when I was in an open document that already had text in it(e.g., couldn't FIND the normal style in the task pane to modify). So I opened a new document, and went right to styles/formatting to modify the "normal" style. I found that automatic updating was checked -- unchecked it, added to template, and all is now well. I'm using Word 2003 BTW. >-----Original Message----- >Griffin, [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >. Hi Griffin, Which version of Word is this? Are you sure the "automatic update" checkbox is NOT checked for the NORMAL style? (Just double-checking, because that's sure what it sounds like) > every time I make a formatting change to a word or phrase > in my documents the entire document changes to that [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > are any of the options under "format, autoformat, options, > autoformat" checked.
