This is so wierd, because this JUST happened to me last night. Indeed, it's a Word document opened in Maker. For my situation, it happened to the PGF that follows a text inset... once in a table cell, so it was the last pgf in the flow, and another time in the middle of the document.
I found that if I inserted a bunch of pgfs in front of the dodgy one (hit return a few times), I could then modify the format for those pgfs. Then, if I deledet up from the bad one, it took the formatting of the previous pgfs. So that fixed the problem for me. Very odd, and scary. The usual MIF washing didn't have any effect. I was scared that maybe the file was corrupt, but I think I can trust it. Time will tell... ************************************ This has happened to me a few times. I've deleted the paragraph in MIF and it worked fine.
