Pages document text shifted to the right without user intervention

Open Pages document and it has changed since using yesterday, text has moved across to righthand side of document, where it is always on left.


Realise this is easy to correct through ’Style’, but how come it changed itself?

The simplest and probably only answer is to just correct it. You can do that with the File menu > Revert To > Browse All versions… and restore the document state as of the last date where the text was aligned properly. Or by restoring the previous day's document from Time Machine. You might make a copy of the document beforehand in case there is content that will be lost due to the replacement.
