InDesign adds automatically a space within a number

In a text I neeed to write the number 1123. InDesign automatically writes 1 123, adding a space between the first two digits, no matter how often I delete the space. Presumeably it wants to separate the thousands from the hundreds. Is there a possibility to stop this automatism?

Is this happening for every first two digits in a four digit sequence or only when there are two ones next to each other? I suspect the font you are using, like most fonts, uses uniform spacing for numbers, also called Tabular Lining. This means each digit takes up the same amount of space which makes it easy to align numbers in a table. If you have two 1s next to each other then there will appear to be extra space between them.

But it's a physical space - extra character that can be deleted - not virtual one...

Is it? According to the initial post it seems so, but that seems implausible.

Kannst du uns eine Beispieldatei zukommen lassen? Ich vermute, dass eine GREP-Formatierung dahinter liegt.

It's possible that there's a GREP style in your paragraph style that adds the space. Can you check that?

Ummm.....

A grep style coiuld add tracking, but not an actual deletable space.

 

Without seeing a sample file, or at the very least a screen capture with invisibles showing, we're just spinning our wheels speculating.

Yes, I meant 'create space by tracking'.

Can you share a sample file where this happens, please? To the best of my knowledge InDesign has no sort of automatic number formating ability beyond possibly some auto-correct entry which would be number-specific..

It is a zip code on an impressum page. And the bug happens in every file, no matter on a regular page or on a template page.
