Default Unwanted extra space at the bottom of a page in Word

At the bottom of the first page of my document, Word has inserted an extra
space. When I hit return it goes down once, as it should, but then it skips a
line again, leaving me with a lot of extra unwanted space at the bottom of my
first page. There is nothing wrong with the alignment is page layout (set to
"top," not justify.) There are no manual page breaks, no section breaks, and
"page break before" is not checked. I have tried cutting then repasting the
text. I've tried backspacing then hitting return again for the paragraph.
I've tried to "find" any weird formatting in the document. Nothing works!
There is extra space at the bottom of the page (between what should be the
last two paragraphs), no matter what I do. I think it has something to do
with paragraph creation. The little grid which is supposed to show how text
is justified shows up when I move the cursor to that extra white space. Can
any brilliant expert help me? Much appreciation!
