I am building a company policy manual using the "multilievel list function"
about 50% of the time I wind up with huge gaps between paragraphs. I can
usually delete the blank space down to 2 or 3 blank lines but then if i
try
to close it up to make it look right it winds up deleting the paragraph
break
and removing the formatting on the following paragraph.

Many times I will get it close to looking right and then it will open back
up (usually jumping to the next page) as soon as I "touch" it with the
cursor.

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer.
