an issue with Word

I have no idea why it happens but every time I make a quotation like in the picture below, the next paragraph without that large indentation is off and that little "something" with which I can adjust the margin size cannot be moved into its proper position.

This should help you reset the default settings in Word:

Don't mean to be picky, but shouldn't the quote be -

Quote:

...stands at the foot of the ladder.

and

Quote:

...behind his receding brow...

?

To me, ladder and brow make more sense than adder and row, but that could be just me.

thanks. I won't be messing in the registry since I still have to put some finishing touches into my M.A.
but your link made me realize that there is something completely messed up with Word 2003 as I have been having this issue even though I reinstalled it several times. So I'll just straighten it in Word 2007.

wow...
ladder and brow are the words actually...OMG...I was copying from some pdf and during the formating of the text I must have accidentally deleted the first letters. Thanks a lot...
But now I'm wondering - how many more of "these" are in my M.A ?

Gotta read it once again...

If you want me to have a quick scan over it, I'm willing.

As long as there is no Polish!!!

Thanks- much appreciated, but...it's 100 pages long.

Meh, I can see big gaps here and there so probably only 50 are actually text.

I used to (occasionally) double-check the wife's essays for her degree. As long as it isn't another 5000 words on David's The Death Of Socrates I'll be fine.

I may even learn something.

Ok, so how it looks like for now:
My supervisor was supposed to check my dissertation for today (she has already read it something like 3-4 times) to give me hints where it still needs polishing etc, as the deadline is set on Friday (the woman responsible for the review is going for...surprise, surprise...a holiday and I had to hurry up with finishing my work)
BUT, yesterday, I received an email saying that she wouldn't be able to read it for today and Thursday is the new date. (with Friday still being the deadline).
So...a few options here: if she tells me that I can still have that M.A exam in July and the deadline is Friday, I will just read it once again myself bcoz I just can't let you waste your time.
If she puts the deadline off, let's say for Monday-Tuesday, and you are still willing to read it, I will send you a PM etc.
And the last option, unfortunately the most possible one, that she will say "September", then I don't really know what I will do...
I'm waiting for "The Judgment Thursday."
