What you're seeing is what the display looks like when Word is wrapping text
around something. So there's *something* there. It might, for example, be an
AutoShape with no (or white) line and fill. You might try displaying the
Drawing toolbar and clicking on the Select Objects tool. Wave that around in
the area in question and see if it allows you to select anything.

Thanks for the article.

In my document, however, the text is unaccountably indented only on some
pages. When I turn on the option to view Text Boundaries, the indented (in
some cases, hanging) line appears to be in a text box of its own. It
appears
to be in a one-line text box, and then the rest of the text is in a text
box
that covers the rest of the page.

But there is no empty frame similar to the one described in the MVP
article
you referred me to.

I can get a screen shot if that will help.
