unwanted margin changes
One file is affecting pasted text in an erroneous fashion, whether the text
is being entered into it or being copied from it and pasted into another file. 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. 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. Iindents, outdents, styles, non-printing characters are not involved. Thanks in advance! JT Oregon |

Are you *sure* there are no line breaks or paragraph breaks? See

unwanted margin changes
The main body of text that is being transferred has neither paragraph breaks or line breaks at the end of the lines--only one or three dots. While I realize you were probably suggesting an approach that would work either way, I should make clear that this has nothing to do with e-mail or the web--just transfers from one MSW doc to another. Interestingly, when I tried transferring (copy/paste) a section which was much too long into the peculiar file, it came out close to normal...so clearly the peculiar file is automatically shortening whatever block of text it is receiving. When text is taken from that file it expands when pasted into a regular file. Weird. Thanks again for your help with this. JT Oregon "Suzanne S.

If you want to send a sample of the problem text to my email, I'll take a
look. -- Suzanne S.
