formatting text 2007word

Hi, I am having trouble formatting selected text only. It seems to want to
alter the entire document... indents, paragraphs, font size etc. Even when I
highlight a word, others are changed. How do I stop the program from doing
that?
Thanks,
Ellen

Thank you for your help, however when I did as the link suggests, I get this:
Compile error: method or data member not found.
I had copied and pasted the entry into the immediate box, but it still didnt
work. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I should have examined that page a little more closely. The problem is
the space between Automatically and Update in the line of code, which shouldn't
be there. Try pasting this instead:

ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).AutomaticallyUpdate = False

The amazing thing is that it hasn't been reported before now, given the
number of times people are sent to that page. :)

The page was just updated (for Word 2007) a few days ago; it previously did
not contain that information. John has reported back that the correction has
now been made.
