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. -- Suzanne S.

I think (2) is correct. How do I remove a negative right indent.

Thanks, but they are set to that already. The only thing I can think is that
I started with a different computer and recieved a new one and somehow it isn't recognizes the formatting. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Format | Paragraph and set all indents to 0". -- Suzanne S.

If you like, you can send a *very small* sample of the problem text to
sbarnhill (at ) mvps (dot) org, and I'll see if I can figure out what the problem is. -- Suzanne S.

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. "Suzanne S.

Evidently a variation of the Columns bug. sigh Is this in Word 2002 or
2003 (it's supposedly fixed in the latter version)? -- Suzanne S.
