Word XP formatting .... aarrghh!!
 

This problem is starting to drive me nuts...

Ever since I changed Office 2000 for XP, I have had this problem with formatting. When I used to copy and paste stuff from the web in 2000, I was able to edit all the text indepently - ie. I could embolden a certain block of text without the whole lot following suit.

However with Word XP whenever I do this, the whole lot seems to follow suit and it is starting to drive me mad (see pic below for what I mean).

How do I switch this bloody annoying "feature" off? (before I lob my computer out of the nearest window) :fit:

Ta :)

Not sure how you switch it off - and Yes - Word XP has drove me insane too on some occasions.

If it all gets too much i just select the area of text i want to edit and goto the font selector next to the AA symbol in your toolbar (it says Normal in your picture). Then select clear formatting and start again.
