Having been in a large organisation that made the transition from WP to
Word, there were a lot of users that never really made the mental

No wonder when a simple one word delete in 'Word' can suddenly alter
the format in the rest of a document to nothing like it was
milliseconds before and without any indication on how to fix it other
than by bodging.

I often find, in this situation, that the undo function restores the
document to its intended state. YMMV of course.

I find that this problem often occurs in documents written by typists
who started with a typewriter. They use tabs to align columns of figures
and a small change can throw the whole layout into disarray. The
solution is to use tables.
