I'm experiencing an odd problem with a multi-page document o
instructions I'm currently formatting

The document consists of several sections and subsections, and I hav
created styles for section headers of different levels and the bod
text. The body text has a margin that is about half a page because
want the right half of the page to be available for inserting graphic
such as screenshots. I have not formated this using the page margin
because I want the section headers to be able to run across the entir
breadth of the page

Now, inexplicably, on some pages the last line of the text runs acros
the entire breadth of the page as well -- while the body text of th
same paragraph continues as formated at the top of the next page

Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be

I could make guesses about what the problem is, but you might want to try a
reverse approach, using page margins to define the text area and then adding
a negative right indent to your heading styles instead of adding a right
indent to the body text style(s).
