It's done this to me before, but I can't remember how I fixed it... probably just started a new document.
But it's starting up on me again... so...
I highlight a couple of words I want to
bold or
italicize and instead of just bolding or italicizing those few words it pretends I have selected the entire document.
If I then click on the undo button (once) then it undoes the whole document, except what I wanted selected. Weird.
As I mentioned above, it has done this to be from time to time, and it's darn annoying, because if I don't catch it in time, it will ERASE all the previous bolding or italicizing I've done previously in the document, meaning I have to go back through and figure out what I had marked before. Not so hard for bolding, but I often use italics for emphasis, dreams, flashback dialogue, etc. so if that gets erased, then I get really
.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, I would appreciate it. BTW, I have WORD 2007.
