Typing away in a Word document and I had one of those lightning bolt guys pop up when I did a thing, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I'm regretting that now.

I've got this formatting thing set up to where if I'm doing a bullet list, I hit enter to start a new line and tab to indent. Word automatically makes my next text bold. I type the thing and then hit : and it transfers it back to non-bolded text. The only thing it's doing that I don't like is changing the font size. Everything in my doc is Arial size 10. As soon as I hit :, it goes back to normal text, but it switches the size to 12 instead of 10.

I think I remember seeing that the option was called "Auto Emphasis" but I could be wrong. How do I make this happen?

So this one appears to have solved itself. I had copied portions of this document from another where the default size was 12. Once I closed out and reopened it, it took care of itself.
