I'm having a formatting problem that I've never encountered before when
using MS Word on my Apple MacBook Pro.

In a new paragraph, when I click on the toolbar icon to set a bulleted
list, the entire document and all paragraphs are converted to bulleted
lists. I'm sure it's some kind of setting in a Style or in Preferences
that is causing this, but I can't figure out where to go to make a
change that will allow me just to set a bulleted list w/in the one
paragraph I want it to be in.

Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Try the following:

Go to Format>Style. Select Normal from the list, then click on Modify. In
the style modification window, uncheck "Automatically Update", then close
all the menu windows.

You're most likely on the right track :)

Take a look here;

even though it predominantly refers to PC Word. Much of the issue is common
to both platforms. (If using Safari you may need to hit Refresh once or
twice for the page to appear.)
