Black border to left of image

[blueade7]

When I copy an image into word a black border sporadically appears to the left of my image. I have read about other people with black border issues BUT my problem seems to be different. The border is immediately to the left of the border, witin the text area. If I type in this area the black region grows larger in accordance with additional text.



The black regions also sometimes appear to the right, top and bottom.

Please see the attached image for an example. I have added lots of text to the left of the image to enlarge the black region.

I have tried all the obvious solutions to fix the problem, but nothing works.

Any help much appreciated.
