I have created some text variables so that one variable can be changed once and it's addition throughout a document will update automatically. The issue is that it only works if the text variable is the last part of a sentence. If it's used in the middle of a sentence, it removes all kerning and the copy is squished.
Other than creating individual text boxes ( which is not a viable solution ) what else can be done to fix this?
Text variables can't break across lines. InDesign willl squish them if they don't have enough room. See if you can get "my" to go the the next line, or re-write the text that proceeds it to give it more room.
Allowing variables to wrap has been a feature request for a long time. Please vote for it here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/31023790-make-text-variables-live-captions-breakable-like-n.
