Header font appears blurry and doubled up

I am using Colonna MT font in the header of a book for the page numbers.  In some places it appears to be blurry.  When I look closely, it is almost as if it is doubled up or as if there was a shadow of the font behind it.  It makes it very hard to read and I want to get rid of it.

I can't see any different in the options I have selected between where this effect is occurring where it is not.  I have deselected all the various font effects (outline, shadow, reflection, glow)

One other thing I notice is that if I select a number and drag the cursor across it, then I can make the different digits have different tones.  For example, if I select the page number for page "73", if I just click on it then it selects in a light grey tone.  However, if I then drag the cursor across it left to right, the 7 goes dark grey while the 3 remains light grey, then as I keep going both the 7 and the 3 go dark, and a new light grey box pops up to the right of the 3.  Its as if there is some other word object there, but I have no idea what it is.  I am unable to get this effect on other text I try it with - its either selected and light grey, or not selected - so I am not sure what the dark grey select means.

Any suggestions about what is causing this and how to get rid of it?

Thank you

Hi:

Okay, it occurred to me that maybe I didn't need to fix the problem, I could just delete the header and reinsert it.  So I selected the header and deleted it, and low and behold, there was another header behind it still there!

So that would explain why the header looked sort of doubled up, it was!

I have no idea why or how this occurred, but problem solved.

Thank you
