Letters "fade" at column separation
In this situation, I have a two column page, and I'm still typing text in the
first column. In some sentences, the last letter of the last word on a line "fades" (i.e. half of the letter disappears instead of the word wrapping to the next line). There must be a problem in how the two columns are set up-- a margin perhaps-- but I can't find the solution in the usual support areas. Thanks. |

This is a display issue (especially noticeable if you have text boundaries
displayed). If you increase the zoom, you'll probably be able to see all the text, which you should also be able to see in Print Preview. -- Suzanne S.

Changing the view helped, but I also discovered that the right margin
(abutting the column line) for that particular section wasn't set properly. Moving it to the left solved the problem. "Suzanne S.

Ah, yes, if you had a negative right indent, that would cause a problem as
well. -- Suzanne S.
