As always, with the end of the month comes a new edition of the Sinder Chronicle. I’ve been a bit busy this month and I didn’t think I’d be able to get this edition out in time! Thankfully, that wasn’t the case, and we’re here with a jam-packed paper full of content! To list a few…
- The Spotlight is back, this time on a certain new island…
- The announcement of the new rail line in the Sinder Station!
- and more!
As always, the paper waits for you at the Sinder Chronicle, right by the Pinnacle Apartments just east of the Sinder Town Center. You can grab one at our newsstand, or you could get one here!
On a side note, the word spacing issue I have mentioned previously seems to only be affecting the top 2 articles from what I can tell. I have no idea why it’s like that or what I did to fix it for the rest of the articles Trying to mend it only seems to do nothing. I’ll keep trying to work on it to remedy it. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon.

Isn’t that just an artifact of justified text? It looks like you might have created it in Google Docs and there it doesn’t justify the last line by the looks of it, but exported to PDF it does. It’ll try to space the words reasonably but if the last line ends up with three words…
In Adobe InDesign you can apparently solve this by using the Type tool to place your cursor before the end-of-story character, then go to Type > Insert White Space > Flush Space. Explicitly allowing hyphenation to break a word may also give the algorithm more flexibility.
You have some manual spacing at the front of the non-odd paragraphs and also they appear to be 12.5pt rather than 13pt in font size (if Google Docs is round-tripping it right). In Google Docs you can go to Format > Align and Indent > Indentation Options to add first line indent.
It might also be that you have paragraph end markers on every line, which would give it no flexibility about what line to put words on - this can happen copying from PDF - but that would probably make it show up incorrectly when editing, not just when exported to PDF.

It was the indentations that were the problem. I hadn’t known you could set them automatically! I had just been using spaces this entire time 
Thank you so much for the help! You stopped a whole lot of further frustration!
