automatic formatting in my word document changes

[Guest]

Everytime I press enter in a word document the formatting changes to Heading
1. I have tried un-ticking the all the automatic update boxes and have tried
most everything when you press F1 in Word...Please help! I am sick of
changing the formatting everytime I type a new line

Probably "Define styles based on your formatting." See

I have already done this and I have also asked word to ask before auto
updating anything the changes are still occurring.
thanks!

What style are you using when you press Enter? What is the "Style for
following paragraph" defined for that style?

my paragraph style is 'Normal' and the style for the next paragraph is Style
1 and changing that to Normal does not help the fact that everytime I press
enter it reverts to "Heading 1" I tried changing Heading 1 to be identical
to Normal and Word will not accept that change-it continues Heading 1 as
Arial, Bold 16 Pt.

Try changing the Next Style of Normal to Normal.
