Stop updating styles automatically

[JethroUK©]

i have some custom styles - work fine for the most part - i often apply xtra
formatting to the occassion word without issue - but if i format whole line
as say Bold - Word updates the whole style so that everything else in the
same style is made bold - several times this has happened without my
noticing & have ended up reformatting a whooooooole document again
(manually) grrrrrrrrrrr

i notice this happens on some documents but not others - as if some "auto
updating of style" is active

It probably is. See

That looks like it - thanks

this wouldn't happen to be connected to another little bug in Word would it?

sometimes when delteing a paragraph it formats the previous one to Times New
Roman 12 (normal style?) - even though there no single character in the
whole doc using this style

If TNR is the default font, this is pretty much what I would expect. You can
change the default font for a document or template; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm for
instructions on changing the default font for all new documents; to change
it for a single document, change the font of Normal style (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ModifyAStyle.html).
