If you click in the section that is too wide and choose Format/Column. You
will see that it is 1 column but it is 6.25 inches wide. Change it to 6" (or
click on the one column icon at the top) and you should be in business. Not
sure why 6.25 is the default when the margins make it 6" but that should fix
it.

If you like, you can send a *very small* sample of the problem text to

problem is.

I think (2) is correct. How do I remove a negative right indent.
Thank you for your help!

If the text is routinely going beyond the right margin then either
(1)
your
printer is not correctly aligned and you need to change the document
margin
to compensate or (2) your paragraphs have a negative right indent.
If
you're
seeing this onscreen in Page Layout view, then (2) is more likely.

I have the page layout set for 1.5 inch left margin and
1" top, bottom, and
right. the text must be aligned left per thesis
requirements and text not go
beyond 1" right margin...but in page layout and printed
version text goes
beyond the right margin. How do I limit that?
