It would be great if that solved the problem but it doesn't. This option by default is unselected and is something that you select if you want it to universally apply a style change to an entire document. In some instances, particularly when using Numbering, every Enter key that has been pressed to create new paragraphs ends up being numbered so I have document where the numbering is 1,348!!! If you do find a fix please let me know.

Shirley,
Did you ever get a fix for this. I'm having the same problem and it's not because I have the Auto-Update checked. It just happens with bullets with me.

Regards,
Jim

Hi Jim

I didn't get any other replies but I did manage to get mine problem fixed by ensuring that the automatic update was not selected.

Can you be a bit more specific about the problem with the bullets.

Shirley

Hello Shirley, others
Did you ever get your problem solved? I'm suffering the same since years:
Select a word or line, then for example Control B for bold and the entire document bolds. Click on undo arrow and the document unbolds; only the selected piece remains bolded. A paragraph mark is added to the footer each time this is done. (Using W XP and O 2003, both fully updated.)
It appears the problem is residing in each doc file, also in rtf. A file started on another machine is free of this problem also when I copy it to my main machine. A file made on my main machine and copied to the other carries the problem along.
While closing a file I'm often requested to save changes while I made no changes, like a virus trying to get piggy backed.
I'm in the mood now to get rid of this problem. It is a real pain.
Thanks for advice.
Johannes
