Stop Word from Changing Style SusanB 12/17/2008 5:25:02 PM How do I stop Word 2007 from changing the style of my copy when I hit the Enter key at the end of a line of text? When I type anything, then hit Enter, Word changes the style to Headline 1, but I usually want it to stay in a text font. Suggestions on turning this silly thing off?

Re: Stop Word from Changing Style SusanB 12/17/2008 8:39:01 PM Suzanne, that did not work. It was already not selected, so I tried it both ways, and the styles changed after I hit Enter whether or not it was selected. "Suzanne S.

Re: Stop Word from Changing Style SusanB 12/17/2008 8:41:01 PM But I searched around and discovered that you were in the right place, but the correct thing to uncheck is "Apply as you type" --> Built-in Heading Styles. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Office Button | Word Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat > As You Type.

Re: Stop Word from Changing Style SusanB 12/17/2008 8:43:01 PM Suzanne, you sent me in the right direction, however. I needed to uncheck "Built-in Headlines." Thanks!
