error with change style

[Driesz]

(in dutch below)

I select a part of the tekst in word 2007
Then I choose to change the style or lettertype-size-bold-etcetera
Not just te selected part is now being changed, but the whole documetn.
If i then choose undo, then only the selected part is still changed.
What to do with this very irrititating automatic change

Ik selecteer een stuk tekst in word 2007.
Daarna pas ik de stijl aan, of ik verander lettertype-grootte-vet enzovoort.
Niet alleen het geselecteerde deel wordt nu aangepast, maar het gehele
document.
ALs ik vervolgens 'undo' gebruik dan is wel alleen het geselecteerde nog
aangepast.
Wat te doen aan deze zeer irritante automatische verandering?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/WholeDocumentReformatted.htm , but
note that if the style you're using is Normal, it doesn't include the
"Automatically update" check box, so you will need a macro. Here's Stefan
Blom's explanation:

To turn off the automatic updating of the Normal style in Word 2007, you
will have to use a macro:

ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).AutomaticallyUpdate = False

You can then use the "New documents based on this template" option in the
Modify Style dialog box to transfer the modified Normal style to the
attached template.
