What do you do with extra blank lines on random pages?
I have a 7 chapter manuscript. On random pages (i.e. pgs 10, 18, 29, 41)
there is an extra blank line at the bottom of the page where a paragraph should have continued. I've evaluated formatting, both in body text and header/footer. Everything is exact, and as it should be. Some of the line breaks are in the middle of sentences. Nothing is similar about the pages, otherwise, that might indicate the cause. Can someone help, please? This is an issue that needs immediate care. thanks |

I don't fully understand how, but the widows/orphan control (unchecked) did
the trick. Hope I have the time to come back and study up on it. In the meantime, thanks a LOAD... this was a very important, time sensitive project. "Suzanne S.

Sounds like you have a lot of three-line paragraphs, as those are where
widow/orphan control can be most significant. -- Suzanne S.
