Word doesn't offer this feature because you're not supposed to use empty
paragraphs to create blank lines (this is just one of several reasons). If
you instead use the Space Before/Space After setting in Format | Paragraph,
then Word does (by default) suppress this space at the top/bottom of a page.

For consistent pagination, WordPerfect had an option to "suppress the
extra
line at the top of the page" if a one of the two lines between paragraphs
carried over to the next page.

Does Word offer that feature?
