tabs change whole document

[Guest]

When I set tabs for one paragraph, they reset in the whole document. Word2000

Does anyone know 1.why 2. how to make it stop?

It happens whether I have the entire paragraph selected or if I simply have
the cursor sitting in the paragraph.

Thank you!

You may have styles set to be automatically updated. Go to
Format/Style/Modify and uncheck the box to automatically update styles if it
has been selected
