FWIW, you could add zillions of spaces and they would just pile up outside
the right margin unless you enable the Compatibility Option to "Wrap
trailing spaces to the next line."

Hi ?B?QmVhbmVyX1RlYWNo?=,

I am making a list of words (spelling test). Once I insert a column
break,
the new column of words automatically double spaces.

Do you have the non-printing characters displayed on-screen? The one thing
that occurs to me is that there are lots of spaces after the words,
forcing
what looks like double-spacing...
