Default Text Spreads Out when typing

Could be document corruption. See

Thnx. Neither solution works. As soon as you type the first word on

a line
and press the spacebar, the second word jumps over to the right and

so on. H

You may have inadvertently applied paragraph distribution
(Ctrl+Shift+J) instead of justification. Does pressing Ctrl+J fix

it?

Another thing to check: Is the "Set the width of a space like
WordPerfect 5.x" option checked, in Tools | Options, Compatibility
tab? If so, clear it.

When typing a line with full justification on, the text now

spreads
across
the line as you are typing, which is very disconcerting. This

never
used to
happen with full justification on. Anyone know how to turn it

off?
