Nope, there is no "Direct Formatting" for Pages--you will always be working
with a style when formatting pages.  And Page styles are one of the styles that
will *always* AutoUpdate (i.e. there is no "Auto Update" checkbox selection on
the Style editor's Organizer tab). You change it anywhere, and it will auto
update (perhaps "autocorrupt") its use anywhere else in the document. Powerful
stuff :-)

Not understanding that seems to be what continues to trip you up...

+1, for Regina's suggestion the movement out of the block of Direct Formatting
controls
