Hi there,
This is a know bug with the latest version of InDesign for text that uses the Word Ready composer. If you can change the composer to something other than this and it should fix it. See the following discussion for more details

A bug has been logged for this and you can monitor the latest update at the following link

If you don't have an option to change the composer than its better you rollback the version of your InDesign.
