A text box must be anchored to a text paragraph; that paragraph cannot be
inside a TOC field; that's why Word is insisting on inserting an empty
paragraph.
A better approach: put each TOC in a separate section with "Different first
page" enabled. Put the "Table of Contents" or "List of Figures" heading and
your "Itemtabpage" heading in ordinary text paragraphs before the TOC
field and leave the First Page Header empty. In the Header put your running
head ("Table of Contents" or "List of Figures") and your other heading.
FWIW, I don't think you need the "Itemtabpage" heading at all. Most people
understand how TOCs work and that the number is a page number.

Seems it had something to do with a text box.
I had to delete everything on the toc page between the two section breaks
to
get the carriage return to go away.
THAT ALL BEING SAID:
What I need to do is this, and it seems impossible:
I have three tables: TOC, List of Tables, and List of Figures. The TOC
and List of Figures are more than 1 page. Therefore, I'm required to have
the header:
"Item tabpage"
at the top of each page.
Of course the first page, must have above that "Table of Contents" or
"List
of Figures" respectively.
Is there an easy way to do that?
I'm currently using sections and putting the TITLE of TOC or LOF in a
text
box, since "different first page" doesn't seem to work for the header for
sections INSIDE a document (don't know why).
Any ideas?

Make sure there is not a paragraph break inside the field code.

Actually, this is happening before even my field {TOC \o "1-2" \h \z
\u}
as
well. WHAT is the deal? It's REALLY messing up formatting!
