Pagemaker (Adobe) - scrambled text


Expert: Glen Demers - 3/14/2009

Question
Glen,

I have used PM 6.5 successfully for years with Windows XP, placing MS Word text on the pages. I have now placed an 8 page document and edited it for an hour and suddenly, instead of laying neatly across the pages, I have a column marching down the page, one-letter wide. I have no idea what I have done and how to un-do it! This has also affected captions under graphics. Your suggestions will be appreciated!

Answer
Hi Kathy,

I think you may have to start over, but you may be able to copy your edited text.
I think this is a problem caused by MS styles being imported into PageMaker. Try removing all imported styles and see if that fixes your text.

Hope this helps,
Glen Demers
