I think (2) is correct. How do I remove a negative right indent.
Thank you for your help!

If the text is routinely going beyond the right margin then either (1)
your
printer is not correctly aligned and you need to change the document
margin
to compensate or (2) your paragraphs have a negative right indent. If
you're
seeing this onscreen in Page Layout view, then (2) is more likely.

I have the page layout set for 1.5 inch left margin and
1" top, bottom, and
right. the text must be aligned left per thesis
requirements and text not go
beyond 1" right margin...but in page layout and printed
version text goes
beyond the right margin. How do I limit that?
