lines shifted further to the right

[Tic]

Hi,
In my current university paper that I'm writing in word I
have the following problem:
On each page, the first two lines are shifted about half
a centimeter to the right - also when you set the
tabulator, the sign does not appear at the right place
but at the same distance further to the right. Even if
you want to set the indentation for the lines to the left
with the top ruler, these two lines always remain half a
centimeter to the right whereas the other lines take the
correct position. This problem occurs on all pages. I
tried to copy and paste the whole document to a new word
document and it stays with the same problem. Only if I
copy one or two pages the problem disappears.
I've never had such a weird thing. I've been wondering if
this can be due to my cover page where I have inserted a
graph (although in my other documents, I do have the same
graph and the lines' position has not been changed.

Thanks in advance for your help, I hope I have expressed
myself clearly and that you might know what this whole
thing is about.


Hoping to hear from you soon,

Tic

Tic,

The best way to have a document conform to your wishes is
to use style-based formatting. Styles contain the
formatting information for justification, font size,
spacing, tabs, indents, etc. Once you set the style, you
can select and apply it to a line, paragraph, or page.
This will mostly eliminate problems with lines shifting
about.
