Strange word splitting in a text box

[ISIS81]

I am a designer on Quark 7.1 on the new intel duo macs and all of a sudden my quark starts splitting words up in the text box when it is reduced in width, i have set all h&js to off in both the standard menu and in the style sheets but this is not working (it also isn't even putting hyphens in where the word is split) i have also noticed some strange double spacing in the imported text which is in a txt doc from a pc any ideas its driving me mad and could prove to be very time consuming to sort out manually!!!

...does this occur with any font you choose?

...have you tried deleting the quark preferences?

...does this occur in newly created documents with text you type yourself rather than importing or opening a previously saved file?

...is the imported text completely plain text without any styles associated with it?
