I have a problem with a large document where the spill-
over part of a paragraph from one page to another does
not maintain the left indent spacing. The indent
indicators and settings are the same, however the text
that flows over is about 1/2 inch left of the "normal"
or "expected" indentation location.

This only happens occasionally. Any insight on what is
causing this and how to correct it would be appreciated.

I am using Word 2000 on an XP Professional Operating
System.

Any chance you have a graphical object in the left or right
margin (maybe in the header/footer)?

Might the document be set up for odd/even pages or mirror
margins?

Cindy -

Thanks for the reply.

I double checked and the only header/footer items I have
are text, including page #s, but no grapical objects.

Also, the document is not set for odd/even margins

Hi Dan,

OK, then...

When this happens, is it only with particular documents;
from a certain template, for example?

When you see it happen, if you
- select the paragraph before, plus the problem paragraph,
plus the paragraph after
- Edit/Cut
-Edit /Paste Special as "plain text" then re-apply the
formattting (paragraph style?)

has the problem disappeared?

Cindy -

This was with only a single document.

Your suggestiong seems to cure the problem - whatever it
was. Thank you so much for your help.

Thanks for confirming that :-) Most likely, the paragraph
formatting information, that's stored "in" the paragraph
mark, was "all jumbled". Cut/paste as plain text cleaned
out the "gook" so that you could successfully reformat.
