But if it was his styles, why would it only happen in the documents he creates and not in documents he opens that others created? I guess I misunderstood Wilson's original question then. But, I can't see how a style would affect what he is saying...he is saying this person highlights PART of a paragraph and changes it to bold and the whole paragraph becomes bold. Can someone explain why having the styles update automatically would do this? Sorry. I'm confused. lol Linda Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com ABC Free Ezine ~ Free Ebooks and Tutorials *all outgoing mail scanned by Norton AV.
