I am trying to finish a historical quarterly and InDesign is inserting spaces between words that I cannot remove. I am trying to get this job to the printer and this is holding me up. Screen shot attached. Any help appreciated.

Thanks to those who know more than me.

Thanks to all your interest and replies. I did try the showing marks and did not see an issue. The section was narrow. I had the image on the left side of the page and decided to switch the image to the right -- and then the type flowed OK. I am still stumped as to exactly what the problem was, but the workaround got it to the press on time.

Thanks again,

Joe

Hi @Joseph374224441v8g,

Just following up on this. Were you able to try the suggestions shared by the experts?

Could you please let us know whether the issue has been resolved or if you're still seeing the unexpected spacing? If it persists, please share an updated screenshot with Type > Show Hidden Characters enabled so we can investigate further and proceed accordingly.

Looking forward to your update.

Thanks,
Abhishek
