Format changes entire document

I am using Word 2002, SP-2 on Windows XP. If I format a
single item in my Word document, such as making it bold
or changing justification, the entire document changes. I
correct the problem by performing a single "undo" back
step, leaving the intended format change intact but
eliminating the undesired additional formatting to the
document. Any help would be appreciated.
