If it only happens in this notebook, then it almost certainly is an option which is set at the notebook level. You should, in the notebook, evaluate: Options[EvaluationNotebook[]] Perhaps something will be obvious. If not, feel free to send either the output of this command or, somewhat preferably, the entire notebook my way and I'll check into it.
