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.

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.

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.

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

Thanks Terry - it was late at night when I wrote last and I typed "footer"
instead of "footnote". There are lots of paragraph marks below the footnote
line and the footnote but it has also occurred where there isn't a footnote.
I will, however, check the non-print characters. I hope you do this by just
using the "show all" button.

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

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?

It defnitely sounds like there is something, probably an empty Textbox in
the primary footer of the document. What happens if you go to the Page
Setup dialog and, on the Layout tab, if the Different First Page box is
checked, uncheck it. Does the same thing then happen on the first page? If
so, it confirms that there is something in the footer that is causing the
page break.
