If your new version from the template satisfies your needs, that's fine. But one open document should not affect another. Have you checked the state of the Spacing Widths dialog in the bad file? Does it still have an empty spacing library? In case one open document really is affecting another

Christopher, First, there is a possibility that our respective installations are behaving a bit differently; while I own 2k7, it's not presently installed, and is not close enough at hand to conveniently do so, so I've done my investigations in 2k9. I doubt file corruption, partly I've had

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Looks like Noel and I were both right, but maybe Noel was a little righter. Music spacing wasn't working, because of a missing value or checkbox unclicked (one that I missed). This may have been a form of file corruption (not all corruptions cause
