janeolmsted Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 When I paste text into a text box, it sometimes appear as a narrow line (about 1-2 characters wide) on the right side of the text box, in green text. It happens with "insert filler text" as well. If I start a new document the feature works fine, until I do something on a second page, but I can't see any difference in the settings. I'm obviously missing something. I've googled this but can't find any suggestions that fit. Thanks! Quote
Old Bruce Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Hi @janeolmsted, and welcome to the forums. This sounds like a Publisher problem with the Text Frame having a zero width column setting. You will have to set the width to its original size.

walt.farrell Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. It would help to have a sample document. It would also help to know which Affinity application you're using. But one possibility (in addition to the one that Old Bruce mentioned) is that you have some kind of left indent set. The problem is that there are several ways of accomplishing that, and to some extent they depend on which application you're using. That's why knowing the application and having a sample file would help.

janeolmsted Posted November 30, 2020 Author Posted November 30, 2020 Okay, I wasn't sure how to make them show at the same time. Do these show what you need? Quote

janeolmsted Posted November 30, 2020 Author Posted November 30, 2020 Okay, I reset to zero but it didn't change anything. Could it be more than one thing? Quote
Old Bruce Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Combination of Walt's eagle eye and .... We would really need to see that document posted here as an attachment.
