Yesterday everything was fine while I was editing my document, but today when I opened it, all the lines where I had accepted a change(it's a book so many changes) the fond was in BOLD for some reason and it's still doing it today.

First, see if this is happening to all documents, or just one. If it happening to only one, then the document may be corrupted. Hopefully, you have been backing up your work. If not, you can try to repair the document as described in the links below:

If this is happening to all documents, then you can try performing an Office repair:
Note that using a thumb drive or USB device can cause a file to become corrupted, if you do not remove it properly. See
what if I don't have a browse option for that first one, I have file, open and then it just has a list of files I've opened
Which version of Word (Office) do you have? In the full version running under Windows, at File > Open, you should definitely see a Browse option (under This PC and Add a Place).
I am unsure but mine looks like this
Karen,
If you tried to include a screenshot in your response, it did not appear. Try again.
If it happens with a specific font, maybe that font is damaged. For example, the regular font file may be damaged.
