UNWANTED FOOTNOTE LINES APPEARED AFTER REOPENING FILE AFTER CRASH NOW I CAN'T REMOVE THEM

[LadyBlayze]

ID crashed as I was repositioning pictures on a gallery page.  When I reopened after the crash, about 5 of my pages have footnote lines on them.   I don't have any footnotes in this document. PLUS i missed a shipping deadline DUE TO THIS!

Hello

Frustrating when something goes wrong, and deadlines come and go it can be difficult.

They don't look like footnote lines - footnotes are usually at the bottom of the page. 

When files crash or the program crashes it can cause unexpected things to happen - like re-force a previous setting that might be on or off somewhere - as the file loads it repairs and when it repairs it applies the text style again.

Seems like it's only 5 pages - so you'd have to go to each of the 5 pages and figure out what was turned on during the repair.

• It could be a Paragraph Rule is set in the paragraph style or was used
