How to fix text crossing columns

I am assembling a book and have discovered some text crossing columns as shown on the attachment. I have no clue as to how it happened, or how to fix it. I have used indesign since verrsion 2 and have never seen this before. Can anyone help?
Thanks to those who know more than me,

Joe

    In the span column dialog it is set to single column.
