    The spaces are occupied by characters for which the colour of the font has been set to White.

    They can be seen if you apply shading to the text.

    Alternatively, use CTRL+A to select everything and then set the colour of the font to Automatic.

    There is definitely something odd about the appearance of the document in your screenshot.

    If you send me a copy of the document, referencing this thread in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.
