Comforting to know that I am not alone in this one.
This has happened in the publication of a newsletter, and
I have a deadline to meet, but when the dust settles, I
will start with the bare bones and see if I can determine
what combination of things creates the environment for the
wild behavior.
The document has a number of features used
(columns, line spacing changed, several fonts, headers,
footers, footnotes, page numbering, leading, graphics lines
and boxes, and more), so it will be a job to add them one
at a time and test for wildness after each. Hmmmmm, just
thinking about it makes me wonder if it's worth the effort.
