Word 2003: Font change is applied to entire document (should not)

ugcheleuce · #1 11-05-2018, 05:22 AM

Hello everyone

I have a problem in MS Word 2003 in that if I apply a font change (e.g. bold) to a selected text, the entire document is changed (e.g. becomes bold). When I use Ctrl+Z, the change is undone and only the selected text remains changed. This means that I have to press Ctrl+Z every time I want to apply a font change to a piece of text.

What is the problem, and how do I solve this?

Thanks
Samuel
