Issues with new document in Word 2007

[Gary]

The user has two documents open in Word 2007. He is copying and pasting from
an existing document to a new one. Here are the problems that he is having
with the "new" document:

1) If he selects one word to make Bold then ONLY that word will be affected.
However, if the user chooses more than one word to Bold then the entire page
becomes Bold. The user will then utilize the "Undo" feature and what he
originally wanted to be Bold turns out that way.

2) Bullet points: The user will place his cursor next to a sentence, click
on the Bullet point option, and the entire page has bullet points. However,
when the
user then uses the "Undo" feature then only the sentence he originally
wanted to have a bullet point will have one.

I'd appreciate any help that can be provided regarding this matter. I'm not
sure if the copying and pasting from the existing document is what's causing
this strange behavior.

The "Automatically Update" checkbox is checked, in the relevant
paragraph styles.

Hi,
I have never experienced a problem like that in Word. There are two things
you may want to do/check:

1) Check: check if your keyboard has sticky keys, maybe the shift key or
something else may be triggering that.

2) Go to the original document and remove any kind of text formatting
rule(bullets, bold text and spacing). Copy and paste the plain text onto your
other document and see if you still have the same problem(you can always
bullet and put text back to its normal position using the text format in
Word).

Hope this helps. If you are having the same problem, check if your documents
are from past Word versions; maybe there are some compatibility issues...
