Default BOLD has gone wild!

I'm using Word 2000. Suddenly, whenever I press Control+B to apply
direct formatting, I get a heading style -- sometimes heading 2, 4, or
6. The bolded text then shows up in the document map. I do not want
to apply a style.
I have confirmed that Control+B is assigned to Bold format. What
is going on? How do I fix it?

Haven't got Word 2000 open to check, but it's probably the AutoFormat As You
Type setting to automatically apply Heading styles.

Yes, the option you need to kill is probably "Define styles based on your
formatting," which really means "Apply a built-in style based on Word's
interpretation of what you meant by your formatting."
