1. I suppose you mean Word, not World.
2. "When you highlight a line, the line becomes highlighted." That seems correct behaviour. You wouldn't want half a line highlighed if you highlight a line. By the way, what do you mean with 'highlighting' and how do you do it?
3. The unit for alignment in Word is a paragraph, not a line. So if the whole document is a paragraph, it's correct behavior also. Check "View all non-printable characters" in Tools>Options>View and see if the lines are ending in a 'new line'-symbol (arrow) or a paragraph symbol.
Hope this helps.

In MS World when you highlight one line, the whole line becomes highlighted. And similarly, when you select 'align left or right' for a particular line, the whole document become aligned. Please forward a best and permanent solution for that problem. Thanks
