Hello, 

 

I am trying to fix my document. everything is slanted, including text and lines, etc.. I have provided a small  screenshot, but it is throughout the entire document.

 

I have tried this, but nothing changes and it is still slanted. Please help. Thank you

Again: It may be just an optical illusion.

 

Or a perception disorder.

Yes, or a distorted monitor screen.

I cannot detect anything slanted in your document and examples, they are all perfectly straight horizontal and vertical.

Can you share such a slanted Illustrator document?

Dropbox, WeTransfer, CC  filesharing, Google...

Here are screenshots. I can also share it on one of those sites you mentioned, but I will just need to edit it down because it is a CV, hence I covered the text.

 

After selecting all and clicking R, I notice that the left side is slightly higher, but everything is set 0. 

Thank you for your help.

There is a good check. You can add some guides dragging them from the rulers. They are surely horizontal and vertical. Match them with the text baselines and see if there is a difference.
And I agree with Ton: all items are straight, no rotations, no slants.

Sometimes it may even be a slightly rotated monitor.

 

And some other times it may be just an optical illusion. I think it's an optical illusion, specifically if one wants to see it.

I also see them rotated a bit, not slanted.

What does the Transform panel show when some object is selected? Is there any value but 0°?

Did you check if the artboard is rotated?

I have checked all the values and they are all set at 0

and how do I check if the artboard is roated?

Check the lower left corner of your document window.

fx,

 

I see the same lack of slanting as Peter.

 

Just to make sure, are you sure there is no perspective grid on?

The perpective grid is off, and everything is set at 0. I have checked the document on an iphone to ensure it was not my computeer and still everything is slanted. i just don't know what am I doing wrong. I even started a new document and same issue.

Sorry, but I see nothing on a slant.
