Default Word creating indents not indicated in the ruler, styles, or hidden characters

Hello,

Occasionally when I copyedit documents, I find that lines in a paragraph (other than the first) are indented for no apparent reason. I have a first-line indent set and there's no line break or paragraph break that I can see.

I've attached several screenshots. Lines 3, 4, and 5 of the text should not be indented. I also noticed that it seems when I change the number of characters in the first line as shown in the second and third attached screenshots, it changes the indents in the rest of the paragraph.

I appreciate any insight you can offer.
