Microsoft Word - formatting word 2008 for Mac vers 12.1.9

Expert: Mahesh - 7/2/2009

Question
I have strange paragraph formatting problem. if I change the formatting of a
single word or single line of text (i,e increase size of type or change from
plain to bold text), the entire document (= multiple paragraphs) are changed.
In order to limit the change to the selected text I need to 'undo' (command z)
that change and then the rest of the document reverts to its previous state.
This is very annoying as it often screws up my entire document. This problem
seems new in the 2008 version of word for the mac. Any help in solving my
problem is greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hey,

I am sorry but I am nto so well versed with Mac versions.

However I belive this problem is with the autocorrect options of MSword. If someohow you could figure out the way to configure your autocorrect options, I think you will be able to fix this.

At the moment, this is the only tip I can provide. Let me know if you could get this issue resolved.

Thanks & regards,
Mahesh K
