How to get rid of this annoyinh behaviour...

[Guest]

Hi there,
Currently I use Office 2002 at work, but this behaviour happens in Word 2003
as well. What happens is this:
When I wish to change the layout of part of the text all my text changes!
Lets say I wish to center a paragraph ; when I do this all my text gets
centered. When I click cntl-Z everything except the specified paragraph is
set to what is was previously, so I get there eventually. But this is
rediculous, and I wonder what causes this behaviour and what I can do to stop
it.
Another thing, which I notice only at work currently: I have chosen as view
the print-layout, expecting the WYSIWYG view. I notice however, that the top-
and bottommarigin are gone. They are still defined in the pagelayout, and
printing will give the expected layout. Again, what causes this behaviour,
and what can I do to change it?

TIA,
Hans Brouwer
