Strange Word Wrap Issues

[Kerri]

I've created a Word template for an organization's branding initiative with very specific formatting, margins, paragraph spacing, etc.



There is a weird issue, however, with how Word is choosing to break lines.
The left-hand margin is 5/8". The right-hand margin is 2 5/8" to allow for stationery design elements on the right side. Word seems to be randomly breaking lines very early on some lines and not on others. It's almost as if certain groups of words are grouped together and will break until they can all fit on one line together. (I.e., if I move the right margin out, the lines remain broken at the same place until there is enough room for about three or four of the words from the line below to fit on the line above).

There are no hard line breaks in the document. There is nothing set in the Paragraph or Font options that would be causing this. (I have a 1/8" indent on the first line of a new paragraph set, and some vertical paragraph spacing set, and that's it).

Here's a link to a screenshot example:

See how early the first, second, fourth, etc lines break compared to where the margin is set? I have invisible characters turned on to show that the only line breaks are at the end of the paragraphs.
