First line of the page is wrongly indented.

[newtknight]

I am doing a book with a template. When I have paragraphs across two pages,
the first line of the 2nd page is wrongly indented on the screen and when
printed out. The first line is indented a couples spaces further.

I have tried the help. Does anyone know what is happening here?

Hi Newtknight,

I am doing a book with a template. When I have paragraphs across two pages,
the first line of the 2nd page is wrongly indented on the screen and when
printed out. The first line is indented a couples spaces further.

This sounds as if you'd have an object (a textbox or frame, probably) in the
second page header area. Perhaps a box that used to contain a page number?
Maybe you deleted the page number, but not the box it was in?

If you
- go into the header/footer
- display the Drawing toolbar
- click the white selection error (at the left)
- drag from the top-left of the page to the bottom right (over the first
couple of lines or so or text)

do any white boxes, set around a square show up?

Exactly was the problem. For some reason the frame for the number was very
tall. Edited it and the pages are fine.
