Odd "white space" indent in front of sentence instead of a tab symbol (converted WP docs)
Background: Last year I converted several large manuscripts (800+
pages) from Wordperfect (WP 9, I believe) to Word 2002. I recently changed over to Word 2003. The problem: Each paragraph within the converted document begins with a 1/2" indent even though the document is set for a 1/4" tab. When I turn on the Show/Hide option, each paragraph ends with a paragraph icon, but the beginning of the next indented line only shows "white space"; it does not have a Tab symbol in it. If I place my cursor at the begining of the indented line, then backspace (to remove the "white space") the line jumps up and becomes part of the previous paragraph. Then, if I hit Enter, then tab, the line moves back down, now indented 1/2" (white space), plus the 1/4" inch tab (tab symbol). I cannot seem to delete this white space. I suspect there may be some kind of formatting code that is either protected or doesn't show up in the Show/Hide option, which may be the reason I cannot delete it. Is there is a setting I can change or something I can do to remove this "white space"? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Dave |
