i have a problem in MS Word 2007. I am working on an outline from the

preformatted template. One line has what appears to be an extra tab between

the writing and the numbering, but I turned on the view tabs and paragraphing

markings and there is no extra tabs. The problem looks like: iii.

white. It should look like iii. white.
 
sometimes, extra tabs /

indentations are inserted

by office and whose knows

why.



perhaps, it’s a bug but

one that is easily resolved.



what you can try is to

place the cursor at the

beginning of the faulty

line.



then go to the ruler at

the top of the document.



there will be a couple

of triangles that can

slide from side to side.



if you click and hold down

on one of the tabs, you will

likely see that it matches

the length of the undesired

indentation.



in which case you can

slide it over to the desired

setting.



incidentally you can double check

all your indentations by placing

the cursor at the beginning of

each line and checking out

their distances from the margin

via the ruler.
