Fixing Floating Punctuation Marks?

I’m writing novels on my iPad with Pages. I noticed that some of the punctuation marks are floating alone on a different line than the word it’s attached to. Is there any way to fix this?

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Auto correct on Pages - very frustrating? When I am writing on an iPad OS 17.2 the auto correct really slows me down and this is a recent problem. If it corrects a word, it highlights it and should I have the temerity to go back and add a punctuation mark it swiftly deletes it, because there is no way of removing the highlight. Even accepting the change and moving on does help because if I return to add to the word to add punctuation it is automatically highlighted. Once selected always selected it appears! The only solution I have found is to type in the correctly spelt word, which is time consuming. Is this driving anyone else mad? Is there a way of fixing this, even if I have to turn off auto correct, which I would rather not do? I can see no way on an iPad to change my Pages preferences,

I updated to iPadOS 16.4.1 and now my book in Apple Books is only showing odd numbered pages. I tried other books. Seems to be a glitch in Books. Tried restarting and that didn’t work. I updated to iPadOS 16.4.1 today and now my book in Apple Books is only showing odd numbered pages. I tried other books. Seems to be a glitch in Books. Tried restarting and that didn’t work. If I make the font very small it shows two columns and all pages. This doesn’t work for me, since my eyes are not the best. I’ve never had this issue before on any of my devices.

when i type letters to people, almost always it changes all the letters to q in the middle of the paragraph. I also notice it types out much slower at this time. Sometimes it does it a lot in the paragraph, but not always. I have an iPad Mini 4. So it looks something like this…” I told Julqqqqqqqqqqqqq “. It doesn’t stop until it either finishes the amount of letters I typed (like finishing the sentence)but most often I stop it by tapping elsewhere so the red dotted line appears under the word. Then I have to stop and fix the error. It’s so annoying. I already checked my settings and everything is right to the best of my knowledge.
