So let's confirm what you are observing...

The page breaks in the middle where a FOOTNOTE line appears and the
FOOTNOTE line is a long way above the Footnote itself?

Further to last, checked the footer and there is nothing untoward there -
no
additonal paragraph marks.

Ah! Open the Footer with non-printing characters displayed. I bet there
is
an empty box or empty para breaks in the footer.

Thank you Terry but that is not the reason. I have checked this. At
a
certain point - about mid-page - it doesn't matter whether it is in
the
middle of a paragraph or at the end of a paragraph on all pages in the
document, except for the first page, the text goes to the following
page.
If
there is a footer, the footer line appears at the mid -page point but
the
footer still goes to the bottom of the page. I have disiplayed the
formatting at the end of the line, on the paragraph mark etc and
cannot
see
anything abnormal. There is nothing in the page setup that could
cause it
either. I noted in another post you mentioned, I think, displaying
hidden
characters or something similar by increasing magnification of the
page
but I
don't know how to do this. Word version is 2003.

There are many reasons but the most common is that the paragraphs
have
been
formatted with Keep Lines Together (possibly Keep with Next) and are
therefore breaking across the page in order to keep together.

Have a document that is breaking mid way in the page and not at the
end
of
a
paragraph. Widow and orphan control is checked. Line spacing is
set
to
Multiple - 1.2. I have tried pasting format from first page in
document
where page break is normal but this doesn't work. The problem is
occurring
through the document apart from the first page. i have checked the
formatting in the style bar but there is nothing untoward showing.
