formatting applied to whole doc instead of 1 word

When I make one word bold, the whole document gets to be bold, an undo leaves
the only the

intended word bold... word 2003, no updates required.
I checked with some other users, they have experienced this too sometimes,
is this a

reported bug?

In a long doc, with limited memory, it can take forever... what is the
solution?
Working in normal view uses less memory, that helped speeding oit up, but
still, it does not

work how it should.... corrupted doc? No I copied and pasted into a new doc
with patse

special unformatted text... still happens.... Help

Hi,

I have similar problems, and finally the file got corrupt. I then tried a utility called Advanced Word Repair to repair my Word document. It works rather well but alos costs a lot.
