Inconsistent number of lines to a page (Word 2007)
I have turned Widow/Orphans off, but I'm still getting inconsistencies with
the number of lines on my pages. I'm using Dark Courier, double spacing and 1 inch margins all around. I need to have 24 lines per page and most of the time that's what I get. But sometimes the last line is empty, so I only have 23. It can happen in the middle of a paragraph. or when a new paragraph occurs. It's really noticable because I have the date in the footer and the additional empty line above it stand out like a flag. In case it's of any interest, my document is 430 pages long. The problem is drving me nuts! does anyone have any idea how I can fix it |

Thanks Jay. I looked at that and the suggestion to set lines "Exactly" and 24
didn't help. I still see the same issue.

Make sure the space before and after for all text styles/paragraphs is zero.

Or an integer multiple of the line spacing.
