There could be several reasons but the first that comes to mind is that you have formatted the justification of the the "spaced out" text as "Justified" (that means that the words are always spread out from the left margin to the right margin (like newspaper column text and books, etc)

To do this, select the text and then press <Ctrl> + <L> (not shift L; I used the capital letter because the difference between a capital I and a lower case "L" l and a one [1] might not be apparent in the font your browser displays this page with.
All words count as words in a word document; Even the word "word." There is even a feature on many computers that lets you count the number of words in an essay you have written. But the confusion here comes from the name: the actual name you are asking about is a Microsoft Word document (with a capital W). Microsoft is the company that created this type of document file, and while it may indeed contain words or pictures and is sometimes called "Word," it refers to the brand name, not to what is in the document. For example, a teacher might ask students to send their essays in Word. That might sound to a person who is not a user of Microsoft products like the teacher is asking for words. But actually, the request is that the essay be sent in a particular file type (a .doc file, also sometimes called a Word file).
Right click status bar (bottom of Word window) and choose Word count to have it displayed all the time.
