Weird Word Layout Issue : Annoying Grey rectangle on the right
IrvinT Your screen shot shows that the grey area is a rectangle drawing object anchored in the page header, so it appears on every page. The little black dots on the corners and sides of the rectangle are the distinctive indications of an object.
To remove it, first double-click in the header area to open it for editing. Then you can click on the rectangle to select it, and press the Delete key.
If the text doesn't expand to fill the space between the margins, check the Paragraph settings for a non-zero right indent value, first in the style applied to the text and then in the Paragraph properties of the individual paragraphs.
Please provide a link to a sample document with the problem.
Why a sample file is important for troubleshooting - - - - - - - and how to do it.
I assume that this is one document and does not occur in new documents.
Thanks for replying !
Actually it tends to happen in documents that have been translated through deepl.
So does it really matter if the document is new or not ?
Also , I am afraid that I would have to ask for permission to share the full document. I will let you know if this inquiery gets appoved on my side !
Thanks again
Jay has likely answered your question.
"Translated through deepl" has no meaning to me. If deepl is a program or process, it is likely the source of the problem.
If it is occurring in new documents, the problem is likely in your Normal.dotm template or in an Add-In. That is a diagnostic question.
Please read the linked article about sharing the file. We do not need the entire file; you can remove confidential or proprietary information and the article tells you how. What we need is a sample file that has the problem. You are asking for help from your fellow users here.
