Sorry - got a bit mixed up about justified and unjustified and which was what here. (English is not my first language, Swedish is). To clarify about the spacing between words, this is from Help in cs2:

"Minimum, Maximum, and Desired The Minimum and Maximum values apply only when you�re setting justified type. For all other paragraph alignments, InDesign uses the values you entered for Desired. The more the Minimum and Maximum percentage values differ from the Desired percentage, the more latitude you give to InDesign to increase or decrease spacing in justifying the line. The composers always try to make the spacing for a line as close to the desired settings as possible."

and

"If you are using the Adobe Single-line Composer, setting a narrow range in the Minimum and Maximum values helps achieve a desired result. However, setting a narrow range may not be beneficial with the Adobe Paragraph Composer, because it decreases the difference between a reasonable break and a bad break over a range of lines. If you change the default values for the Adobe Paragraph Composer, make sure the values you use can accommodate a generous range.
Note: When specifying word spacing, Minimum should be less than or equal to the percentage set for Desired, and Maximum should be greater than or equal to the percentage set for Desired."

and don't forget this setting:

"For Hyphenation Zone, specify the amount of white space allowed at the end of a line of unjustified text before hyphenation begins. This option applies only when you�re using the Single-line Composer with nonjustified text.

To alter the balance between better spacing and fewer hyphens, adjust the slider at the bottom of the dialog box."
