some of my lines move outside of the left margin when I type

A number of lines in a document "shift" outside of the left margin when I
type. How do I correct this?

Do you have a negative indent set? Choose Format - Paragraph. My indentation
settings are both 0. What are your indentation settings?

Mind you, they don't *have* to be 0, and sometimes a negative indentation is
precisely what you want (in some kinds of publishing & reports). But, if
you're having a _problem_ with lines extending too far to the left, then it
sounds like your indentation settings might be the problem.
