unwanted margin changes
Recently Copy/Paste transfers of text into or out of a certain file results
in unwanted margin changes. Curiously they're opposite in effect: lines far too wide for transfers out of it, and much too narrow going into it. This generally doesn't happen with transfers between other files. Thanks in advance! John Teton Oregon |

unwanted margin changes
Are you looking for an explanation, or a fix?
Either way, it would help if you provided some real information: is the margin changing for the document section, or only for the pasted paragraphs? Do the paragraphs end up with indents or outdents? Are styles involved? Turn on non-printing characters and check the settings: this will likely answer the question for you. "epifstc" wrote in message ...

Thanks in advance! John Teton Oregon Would definitely appreciate a fix. 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. Thanks again. JT Oregon |

We really can't help you if you won't provide basic information. The challenge is to work out what is causing the formatting changes you describe. But if you won't tell us what those formatting changes are, there's bugger all anyone can suggest. So please: look again at the affected paragraphs, and tell us about them. |

(a prior attempt to reply appears not to have posted--pls forgive any redundancy here) 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. I don't know if this is what you're after. Last time I answered all 5 specifics requested (indents, outdents, styles, non-printing characters, areas affected.) I am not trying to withhold any information since I really would like to get this solved. If any further details are needed, please let me know the speciics. Thanks, JT Oregon |
