Cursor not moving when spacebar is pressed, text is split

Hi Lauren,

We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by it.

Based on your description, we can understand there are two queries:

a. Where you get the space between your text and can’t be removed.

b. When you click on the space bar, the cursor in Word document stopped moving (means you can’t edit the document)

For the first query, we guess you had inserted the Continuous Section Breaks in your Word document. So, can you click on the Paragraph marks present in the Home tab to check whether there are Continuous Section breaks inserted in the Word document? If they are, please click on them and delete to get rid of the space.

For your second query, can you please open the Mac in safe mode and open the Word document to check the behavior?

b. Does the problem happens to specific document or all documents?

c. Can you please share us the problematic Word document by uploading it to OneDrive and sharing us the link to access it. It helps us to test at our end.
