How to stop word to apply the same format to the line above when inserting a new one:

I underline type of files and when I do so and then press enter to start writing about it, word automatically underlines the line below "Types of files", "There are 5 different types"
I would like that word would not do so like I have manually done below.

Direct formatting will usually be preserved as you continue typing, unless you are typing in a paragraph style which has a different style set as the "Style for following paragraph."

As I wrote, the easiest way to revert to the settings of the underlying paragraph style is by pressing Ctrl+SpaceBar, which runs the ResetChar built-in command in Word for Windows. If you are working mostly with direct formatting, you may lose other settings as well in the process. You should modify the document defaults to include the font characteristics you use most of the time.

Stefan - Thanks a lot.
I think you are right control + spacebar is the best option as I think the autocorrect option are a bit odd. Even I uncheck the boxes, word is still picking up the format.
