Thanks for your swift answers! -- and apologies for the all-caps! I'm using Adobe 10.1.4 for viewing the .pdf.
But I think the problem must be with Legacy, as I just generated a new .pdf & looked at it while still in the print preview stage (with the Legacy icon in the upper left corner) & it seems to have the exact same words run together as the previous 'edition.' I haven't actually printed anything. Also there's the spacebar problem I mentioned in my original post. I don't know how to generate the .pdf outside Legacy, Barry.
