Hello,
I am using Word 2015 for Mac OSX 10.10.5
I have searched the forum and can't find an answer to this question. I have a long (250 pages) document that now is showing a one character indent on the first line of every page that does not begin with a new paragraph. Where a page begins with a new paragraph, the paragraph appears with the "normal" larger paragraph indent. But where the first line is a continuation of a previous paragraph, I get the indent. It cannot be removed by simply locating the cursor and backspacing.

Now, for what I suspect has caused the problem: I loaded this document into Word for iOS on my iPad, worked on it, then saved it to Dropbox. While it was open on the iPad, I noticed the indented first lines. All the earlier versions of this file (those never opened in the iPad) open correctly, without the indents.

What can I do to remove, what to me, is the mysterious first line indents? If I had not done a lot of editing on the iPad, I'd just go back to the previous edition and be done with it. But now I'd like to get rid of the indents and move on.

Thank you.
