Why does automatic page break in a paragraph change left margin?
After an automatic page break that occurs within a paragraph, the first line
that appears on the next page is shifted to the left a half inch. The ruler shows no change in the left margin. Showing formatting marks doesn't reveal an obvious cause either. Inserting a hard or soft return before the page break does not help. Anyone else have this problem? Can anyone suggest a workaround? |

Go to File Page setup. Set the 'Multiple pages' dropdown to Normal.

Do you have different left and right pages layout, and a non-zero gutter?

Nope, single layout for all pages.

See if the following article can help:

Why does automatic page break in a paragraph change left margi
Thanks for the article.
In my document, however, the text is unaccountably indented only on some pages. When I turn on the option to view Text Boundaries, the indented (in some cases, hanging) line appears to be in a text box of its own. It appears to be in a one-line text box, and then the rest of the text is in a text box that covers the rest of the page. But there is no empty frame similar to the one described in the MVP article you referred me to. I can get a screen shot if that will help.

What you're seeing is what the display looks like when Word is wrapping text
around something. So there's *something* there. It might, for example, be an AutoShape with no (or white) line and fill. You might try displaying the Drawing toolbar and clicking on the Select Objects tool. Wave that around in the area in question and see if it allows you to select anything. -- Suzanne S.

I'm beginning to feel like an idiot. I displayed the Drawing toolbar and
tried waving the Select Objects tool around the area and also clicked and dragged so it would select all objects within the area I dragged and nothing was selected. I went to the bottom of the previous page and tried dragging there too. Same result. I appreciate all the assistance and suggestions, I really do. But this one is getting really frustrating.

If you like, you can send the file to my email, and I'll have a look. Make
sure to include a description of the problem in the covering email and use a subject line that will not look like spam. -- Suzanne S.

FINALLY found the problem. A picture I had in the header was a little large.
I put an extra hard return into the header and the problem went away. Thanks for all the suggestions! "Suzanne S.

Alternatively, you could reduce the "Distance from text" on the picture
layout, add Space After to your header paragraph, increase the top margin, decrease the header margin, etc. -- Suzanne S.
