Multiple styles on same line in Microsoft Word

[jhopppppp]

I am trying to limit the styles a user can use in a word document. I am doing
this by using the "Protect Document" feature.

But after I protect the document, I can no longer apply a style to just a
single word without it changing the style for the whole paragraph.

For example if I tried to change the word 'house' to a new style in the
sentence below...

There is a house on the hill.

Then the whole sentence would become that style, not just the word house.

Does anyone know how to get around this or what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

From your question, I must assume you didn't read the article I mentioned.

In the Styles and Formatting pane, look at the styles that have the letter 'a'
next to them (instead of the paragraph mark ¶). Those are character styles. For
example, the Emphasis style applies italics, and the Strong style applies bold.
You can define other character styles for your own templates; just change the
"Style type" dropdown in the New Style dialog from Paragraph to Character.

In the Protect Document pane, after checking the "Limit formatting" box, click
the Settings link below it and choose the styles you want to allow. You can
choose character styles there as well as paragraph styles. The users can apply
either kind of style, as long as it's a style in the list you allowed.
