SYMPTOMS
When you promote or demote a paragraph's Heading Style format in a table by using shortcut keys, other paragraphs in the table are also unexpectedly affected.

This behavior has several variations:
 * In a cell that contains multiple paragraphs, if you promote or demote a paragraph's Heading Style format, all the paragraphs in the cell are also promoted or demoted.
 * When all the paragraphs in the table are formatted with Normal style, and you promote or demote one paragraph's Heading Style format, all the cells in the row are promoted or demoted.

Shortcut keys for promoting a paragraph are ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW (Windows) or OPTION+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW (Macintosh); to demote a paragraph, use ALT+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or OPTION+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW (Macintosh)



WORKAROUND
Rather than using keystrokes to change a table paragraph's heading level, apply the appropriate style from the Format menu or using the Formatting toolbar.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
