I'm using word 2004 sp1. I keep getting odd behaviour, and I wonder if
anyone else is too. When I select an item like a table, or a title,
and change its color or formatting using the toolbar, the whole
document takes on this format. When I hit command-Z to undo, I get the
formatting just on the section I highlighted. Before I change
anything, I only see a highlight on the bit I want to change. Any
ideas would be welcome.....

Ta,
