Problem with first line on page

[peterfarrington]

Hi

I have developed a problem in one important Word document I have been
working on for ages without an issue.

I have my paragraphs set to have a 0.5" indent on the first line and
justified. This is fine. But on paragraphs which overflow onto a new
page the first line is indented by a small space. Revealing the
formatting shows what looks like a greyed out small paragraph symbol.

Can anyone please help me understand what this is and how I get rid of
it so that the first line on each page is flush with the left margin.

Many thanks

Peter

You've been struck by the "wandering frame." See

Usually it's a leftover frame from a deleted page number. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UnaccountablyIndented.htm for
how to get rid of it and how to avoid it in the future.
