[Framers] Text Ghosting?

[Robert Lauriston]

Save as MIF, open the file in a text editor, and delete the
end-of-document character. Or delete the whole problem section and
re-create it after you open the MIF and save as FM.

I Wonder if any of you mavens might have seen this odd problem before, as I rarely have any problem with this FrameMaker program and this is very novel for me.

"as needed" was weirdly morphed to display as something sort of like "aass nneeeeddeedd" except with the letters mostly superimposed over each other, only slightly offset. Below that begins about two pages of conditional text, turned on, in which the ghosting is vertical.  It's as though a paper sheet was run through a printer twice, a little vertically offset the second time so that you see each line ghosted 2-3 millimeters above another copy of the same text.  The problem persist on printing and also on PDF creation.

There is also an "end of document" character floating about nearby and I have a feeling that this is normally impossible (there is another end-of-document character at the true end of the document ten pages later).
