MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2004Stop Styles !?
Folks, How can I stop Word from using Styles? I prefer just to make the text I want bold, when I want it and to space as I please. I end up with hugh documents because of images, and now when I want to make a bit of text italics for emphasis, I highlight it, hit the "I" button and the whole document changes. I can undo it by hitting a single "Undo" but the whole process can take a very long time even on a super-fast machine. How can I just have word STOP DOING THESE DARNED STYLES for me.... I'd rather think for myself.

You don't want to. Word is based on styles. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm Nevertheless, that isn't your problem.
