Default WORD 2007: Can't automatically update Normal style using macro

When you press Enter after having typed

ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).Automatically Update = False

in the Immediate window, automatic updating will be turned off for the
Normal style, but note that this doesn't remove any unwanted changes already
saved to the style. You may have to modify the style to get the look that
you want.

Also, note that if automatically update has been turned on for other styles,
you will have to deal with those styles separately (use the Modify Style
dialog box).

I'm desperate. Can Suzanne S. Barnhill or someone update her comments in
"Formatting applied to one paragraph affects the entire document." I am
using Word 2007 and cannot get the VBA macro to work. I followed the
instructions at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting...eformatted.htm, but
when
I hit "Enter," the cursor just goes to the next line. So I exited VBA,
which
took me back to the document, I saved it, and the problem remains.

I would appreciate any help at all. I cannot work with Word changing
things
willy-nilly like this.
