How to turn off auto-formatting of entire document.....

D

I'm having a problem with auto-formatting. When I highlight text and then try
to format it, for example by hitting CTRL-B, the whole document is formatted.
I have to hit CTRL-Z so that the document is unformatted and only the
selected text is formatted. This is incredibly annoying. How do I go about
turning of this auto-formatting so that only the selected text is updated?
