Formatting annoyance – Word 2003 SP1

Hi,

Not sure what caused it but I’ve been facing this problem for the past few weeks:

When I select a line of text or even a single word and apply any kind of formatting to the selection (e.g. bold, Italic), the whole of the document ends up getting the same formatting even though all paragraphs/lines have an ending carriage return character. I then have to do a Undo and then the desired formatting works and the rest of the documents somehow gets “reset” to it’s original formatting.

Can someone please help me out of this annoying situation.

Thanks.
