Why is there a space between a subheading and the first line of text in some
paragraphs and not others. I've compared the paragraphs and Word says
they're the same. But they're not! There is no return mark -- I can't see
the reason and I've tried everything I know. Any help, please...

In FormatParagraph, Indents and Spacing tab, verify that the settings
for Spacing After, Spacing Before, and Line Spacing is what you want
for both the heading and the first paragraph below it.

Another thing to check is that Vertical Alignment is set to "Top" (in
FilePage Setup, Layout tab).

Ah -- thank you. I've never really checked that -- just looked for a return
mark.
