Hi, I am having trouble formatting selected text only. It seems to want to
alter the entire document... indents, paragraphs, font size etc. Even when I
highlight a word, others are changed. How do I stop the program from doing
that?
Thanks,
Ellen

Thank you for your help, however when I did as the link suggests, I get this:
Compile error: method or data member not found.
I had copied and pasted the entry into the immediate box, but it still didnt
work. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I should have examined that page a little more closely. The problem is
the space between Automatically and Update in the line of code, which shouldn't
be there. Try pasting this instead:
ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).AutomaticallyUpdate = False

Cripes! I'd better let John McGhie know so he can fix that. Sorry!

The amazing thing is that it hasn't been reported before now, given the
number of times people are sent to that page. :-)

The page was just updated (for Word 2007) a few days ago; it previously did
not contain that information. John has reported back that the correction has
now been made.
