Text wraps before right margin

Question

In MS Word 2010, with mirrored margins, text justified:

The recto (right--odd numbered) pages text wraps a good 3/8" from the right (outside) margin throughout the document. Left/inside margin is fine on these pages. With boundaries on, it's quite obvious. Nothing hidden. Both verso (left side) page margins are fine. There are no text boxes. Margins and pages are set correctly. HELP!

Thanks in advance.

Update: I just took out the first line indent on the entire document and the text then filled out to the margins on the right on those right-side pages. I put the indents (.3) back in and the text broke before the right margin again....

Answer 1

Sorry, I'm going to leave this up for the next person. I solved it myself. After working with it for about two hours, I posted the above question. I went back and worked with it for another fifteen minutes, then realized the "mirror indents" had a black square in it indicating (I think) that in some places, probably the odd pages, every paragraph (all of them) that had a first line indent would also be indented the same amount on the left side. I uncheck that box and it went back to the way it was supposed to be.

If you have the same problem, check this out. Good luck.

Thanks Suzanne! So many times I'm sure it's the machine ... then I find out it's simply me. It does go back in behind me and do little gremlin things, though ... I'm sure of it....

That was going to be my guess, but by the time I saw your question, you'd already found your answer!
