Justified right indent not matching setting
I am working in Word 07. Have document that is justified. I set the
right indent at the margin, but the text is offset from that about 1/4" to the inside. If I move it out then it moves out, but I don't want to have to set right indent 1/4" outside of margin. Any suggestions? I have checked paragraph settings and nothing looks out of the ordinary. Can send screen shot |

You do not need a right indent unless you want the text to end somewhere to the left of the margin. -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com |

Why are you setting a right indent? You do not need a right indent
unless you want the text to end somewhere to the left of the margin. You set the right indent on a justified document (usually the margin unless changed). Never-the-less somehow it fixed itself when I was messing around with some tables. I don't know how it did it. I have an old version of the document where it still has the problem if needed. I am pretty good with word, so it wasn't anything obvious. Probably just a bug that fixed itself..... Anyways cheers. |

An indent is, by definition, an offset from the margin. -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com |

The issue was that the right indent was set over the margin (0" right), however the justified text was not going to the margin instead it was indented in a fraction of an inch. In summary I did not want an indent and Word was producing one with no settings to do so. |

Justified right indent not matching setting
As seanbaski points out, the Right Indent marker is by default at the margin
on the horizontal ruler. The point was that there was no indent but Word was acting as if there were. -- Suzanne S.
