It's not possible to automatically add spaces between words by pressing the space bar.

The words appear without spaces:

When I press the space bar, this appears:

Do you want to save the changes indesign document adobe before closing?

In other programs (PS, AI), the space bar works fine.

How can I fix this?

Hi everyone,

I'd take a look at the keyboard shortcut set in use as well. Sounds like the space bar might be re-mapped.

Interesting theory.

Well, seems unlikely the keyboard is defective or there's a system problem if the spacebar works in other applications.

Does the space not work at all? I would look into your system.
is it a problem in a specific document? Look into paragraph settings > Paragraph Fine Tuning or Justify and work on the word space settings.
