Text outside margins
I am having trouble with text that wraps outside (to the left) of my
left margin. I have read previous posts on this and I do not have any negative indents set. The first line of the paragraph is where it should be but folllowing lines are at 0 instead of at the 0.7" left margin I set. I have some paragraphs that are ok and I tried using the format paint brush to apply the correct formatting from the good paragraphs to the bad ones but it had no effect. Any ideas? Thanks - Joel |

Are you sure you set a 0.7" left indent and not a 0.7" first-line indent?

I am pretty sure, when I highlight the paragraph and go to
FomatParagraph the Indentation, Special field is set to None and the preview is showing all lines indented not just the first line. But is is acting like the first line is being indented.

Is there a tab there? Display nonprinting characters to see.

Send me a chunk of the problem text (as a Word doc attached to an email),
and I'll take a look. Oh, before you do that, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm -- Suzanne S.

To follow up on this for anyone else who was following it, the problem
turned out to be a Square-wrapped text box (anchored to the header) in the left margin. Changing the wrapping to Behind Text solved the problem. -- Suzanne S.
