One file is affecting pasted text in an erroneous fashion, whether the
text
is being entered into it or being copied from it and pasted into another
file.
The only areas affected are the pasted paragraphs. There are no styles
involved, no unusual indents or outdents, and nothing I recognize as
unusual appearing with non-printing characters made visible.
Text pasted into the file in question suffers an effective right margine
change from the norm of 6.8" to about 4.75" even though there are no signs
in
the ruler line indicating a margin or tab change and the Page Setup still
shows the proper margin for the whole document.
Text copied FROM the file in question and pasted into another file has an
unwanted right margin change as well, this time to about 8.3" reflected in
the ruler but not in the Page Setup section. Iindents, outdents, styles,
non-printing characters are not involved.
Thanks in advance!
