I have this same issue frequently, and as I create documentation for a living, it is a real problem. The problem does not manifest on my side at all, but some clients receive and open my documents and many words are joined together. Tell your coworker that it is a known issue and it appears to be a compatibility problem. Get him to send a faulty document back to you, and then watch you open it in Word 2010 - the problem does not manifest.

There are no errors once I finish spellchecking (i.e. no joined words). I save the document (MS Word 2010) and send it to my co-worker sometimes I also place it on a shared drive. My co-worker may edit the document as well but quite often it happens that he comes back to me and says that there are some errors because some words are joined together or it even happens with sentences (i.e. spaces are removed around dots). He argues it is my fault. I said I wouldn't spoil our work deliberately and that it is probably an error with different MS Word versions (not sure which version he is using). Errors seem to occur automatically - some words are joined and some sentences while others are not.
My question is where could be the problem are there any documents on the web that I could show to my coworker as a proof? Has it happened to any of you?
Thank you
