    In a set of end-notes, each end note is specified as 8/12. This works well for 137 of 138 end notes. However … one of them is clearly wrong, both on screen and when printed out. There is a larger space between #88 and #89. When I check, Indesign reports that they are both 8/12. I’ve tried deleting them and retyping them, thinking that maybe some invisible character is at fault. No joy.

    Any ideas? I’m using CS5 and have never run into this before.

    You mean there is extra space between the paragraphs? Are you selecting the whole paragraph (including the final invisible paragraph return character at the end of the paragraph) when you check the leading value? Sometimes a single character gets the wrong leading.

    Also, of course, check for space before or space after settings on the paragraph.

    Dave:

    I have tried selecting the whole paragraph, including the return character. It reports all OK.

    I also tried selecting each character in turn but with no greater success.

    I must be doing something wrong in my error detection. I make sure that “character” is selected in the ribbon along the top before I try finding the culprit.

    BTW, this particular probnlem doesn’t seem well-reported in the general ID information sources that I checked. Maybe I don’t describe it properly.

    Fortunately, my print firm was able to spot the problem so no damage done, but I’d still like to be able to handle this myself.

    My bad – I went back to the invisible characters and, sure enough, Dave was right – one of more of them was bad – corrected that and all is well!
