List Style Formatting

[laitkens]

I am using Word 2003. I created a list style based on an outline numbering
format. I have something odd happening when I try applying a bold formatting
to one of my levels.

i.e
I. Test
A. test
1. test

I now want to make the word test (level 3, 1.) bold. If I highlight the
word click onto the Bold icon on the formatting toolbar, all the other levels
become level 3. I then clicked onto the undo button which caused all the
levels to revert back to their proper level and the word test was in fact in
bold.

Am I doing something wrong here? Why would all the levels change and then
Undo make the change actually work?

Thank you in advance for your help.

What you are seeing is probably caused by the "Automatically update" setting
for the paragraph style that you are using. See
