text placement

I'm curious if anyone can explain what is going on with this slide.  The "and" at the end of the line was originally in the same textbox as the rest of the text but with several blank spaces between the last word and the "and".   When previewed the "and" showed up right next to the last word on the line. Soooo, I took it out and put it in a separate textbox and placed it as it shows on these clips. Sure would be grateful for any help. THANKS
