Blank space on page
I have a very long documemt that consists of a title center on the page and a
description the title formatted with regular text following the title. I use this format throughout the document. On some pages there is a wide skip between the title and the text. There are no carriage returns. I have been able to correct some of the problems by back spacing or putting carriage returns to roll to the next page. The only codes revealed is a square dot outside the left margin beside the title and the first line of the text. If I can backspace and remove the square dot it will sometimes correct. Other times it puts the square dot back when I retype. It seems to be associated with a graphic that I have inserted. -- aspen39 |

Blank space on page
The square dot indicates that the paragraph is formatted as "Keep with
next," "Keep lines together," etc. (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.ht) The likelihood is that you have "Automatic headings" and/or "Define styles based on your formatting" enabled in AutoFormat As You Type, and Word is converting the first paragraph into a heading. Heading styles have 3 pts Spacing After. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "ASPEN39" wrote in message ...
