Jill,

In the example you give, it looks as if "th" is
missing. But that doesn't help. Are letters missing
from the other words or are they just spaces?

One thing I do sometimes when I get odd words that
aren't really words, is do a find and zap from to
another fixing them before continuing to read. For
example, using your example, I'd find "ing" and add th
and close it with some and then hit Find again and see
if there's another ing by itself and fix that and so
on, and then go on reading. I do this mainly because
I'm afraid I might miss something otherwise, either
because I mentally fix or see the word as it should be
or because I'm tired and miss the word. I do this
particularly if two words are by themselves normal,
because then the spell-check I do at the end wouldn't
catch the error.
