Default Different page sizes in same document

Hello,

I'm editing a file that has me stumped--it appears that there are two different page sizes, alternating page by page. I've attached a screenshot of the problem here--what you see is the break between pages, with one page's margin extending farther to the right than the other's. Can you help me fix this so the pages are flush? Thank you!

It appears you have a Section break between the pages. Delete that and both will have the same page layout - that of the latter Section.

Paul,
Thanks. I looked into section breaks and don't see anything resembling one in my document--what should it look like with "show all nonprinting characters" turned on?

You won't see them unless the non-printing characters are displayed, and possibly not even then unless you switch to 'Draft' view (or whatever it's called on a Mac).

Okay, I figured out what section breaks look like, and that doesn't appear to be the issue here--any other ideas?

Thanks so much.

Can you attach a document to a post with just the affected pages (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab.

Paul,

Ha--when I copied all and pasted into a blank document, the problem did not travel to the new file. So it looks like problem solved! Thanks so much, again.
