It appears your document has originated on a system using a right-to-left language configuration. Furthermore, it has non-standard paragraph styles that it then overrides with non-standard character Styles.

I'd suggest creating a new document, then copying the content from the exiting document & pasting it into the new document as unformatted text. You will lose all formatting, but that will also restore your ability to control the paragraph formatting from then on - the word breaks will also be gone.
