Default Strange white space after headings

In using Win XP, Word 2002, I'm getting white space after
headings 3 & 4 (I unchecked all keep lines together, widow
orphan control etc & have been using Shauna Kelly's
numbering scheme successfully for awhile) so that there is
almost 1/2 page of white space after some headings with
the body text on the next page. I cleared all formats in
case of direct formatting and tried to put the heading on
the next page but it keeps popping back up to the previous
page, leaving me chunks of white space. The users of this
document did use Hidden text that I had to go in and
delete so I don't know if there is a connection to hidden
text and white space. I checked Normal View and there are
no hard page breaks, just the dotted line that I can't
delete.
Thx for any ideas, I'm desperate.

Any chance your page has formatting for vertical centering?
