How do I stop Word putting big spaces between lines?
Thanks. There were some empty paragraphs, which I deleted, and also some
section breaks, which can be removed by putting the cursor before the break
and pressing 'delete'.
I also cleared some of the space by choosing 'clear formatting' from the
style menu.

Turn on your non-printing characters (click the paragraph mark in the
toolbar) and see if OmniPage didn't insert a bunch of empty paragraphs
between some lines.
Get rid of them with Find and Replace: Find ^p^p (two paragraph marks
in a row), Replace with ^p
There might also be empty spaces in those empty paragraphs -- you can
remove them by Find ^p (that is, type a space before ^p) and again
replace with ^p.
(It wouldn't hurt to first replace all multiple spaces with a single
space -- just Find two spaces and Replace with one space, and repeat
until it tell you it found 0 examples.)
