Are you noticing that if you double check your margins that you set, are
those margins changing from the settings you designated.

Hi Brian,
The template I use has evolved through various versions of Publisher. In looking more closely at it, I see some variations.
My template starts with 7 blank pages, with one large text frame on each page. The first three pages have a text box margin of .04". The next four pages have a margin of .0396". These last text frames are also slightly larger on the page. I likely started with a three page template and later added another four pages. In comparing my present document with the template, I can see no changes in either the text box margin, nor in the size of text boxes, except where I shortened the box to include a graphic at the bottom of the page when a particular sub-topic ended.
I often shorten frames for the convenience of sub-topics. I seldom alter text frame margins.
The document I am working on was proving particularly difficult yesterday. Finally it would not readjust to proper layout even when I returned to the first page. So I had to delete a blank line on the first page. Since then I have had no text jumping onto the next page. (I have deleted lines in the past only to find out that I eventually needed to put them back so the text would line up with the illustration.)

Thanks,
Jan
