Align text
Click within EACH in turn paragraph and then go to Format|Paragraph and see
what indents are set there. They must all be different if the paragraphs are
irregular distances from the margin. Set them all the same or, if you don't
want any indents set to 0. Then the margins will be at the default you see in
Page Setup. Hope this helps solve your problem.

I meant .5" on all margins, sorry. I'm concerned because according to the
toolbar above the text, the text in my long document shifts one way or the
other from paragraph to paragraph and page to page. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Sylvia

Word comes with margin defaults set at around 1.5". You can change this is
the Page Setup (File menu). You can decide your own default - mine is 2.5 cm.
The ruler should be used if you want to indent paragraphs from the default,
but 5" (5 inches?) is not possible if you are using A4 or US letter. Since it
is difficult to be very precise with the ruler, you might be better using
Format | Paragraph and setting the indent there. Does this help to solve your
problem?

My left & right text margins vary from page to page though under the
overhanging ruler I have "selected all" to assign 5" margins all around.
Thanks.
