Undo: one character at a time SOMETIMES

C

I'm working on a document and when I hit ctrl + Z, Word is undoing character
by character. Any way to stop this?

I open a brand new doc on the same template, and if I type "testing" and
click undo, it removes the whole word. That is the behavior I have come to
expect. This one character at a time thing is super annoying. Not only
that, but it limits the capacity of undo, as I can easily reach the undo
limit if we're going one character at a time.

I see that the question has been asked but not answered, except to mention
AutoFormat. That's not the problem, unless AutoFormat is somehow firing
after every character I type, which I doubt.

Word 2007.

Also, if I paste the text into a new document, it does the same thing.

Corruption can be carried in the paragraph marks at the end of each
paragraph, or the last paragraph mark in the document. Pasting with Keep
Text Only might work, in that case. Did you try the fixes I suggested?
