Hi Bruce,

this kind of thing can happen if any text that is selected and pasted 
onto the procedures page is copied from maybe an .html page?  This 
can place invisible characters on the page that will cause your text 
to shuffle over to the right side of the procedures page.  Does it 
happen with a new project?  If your students are copying and pasting 
code from a website they should first paste it into Windows Notepad 
first (then re-copy it) then paste it again onto the procedures page. 
Notepad will eliminate all of the non text they don't want from the 
web page.

Let me know how it goes.

Shawn
