my document keeps generating heading lines (level 2) even though there
is no text associated with them, thusly

5.5 Heading no 5
picture or table
5.6
nothing
5.7 Heading no 6
rest of doc
Sometimes I get
5.5 Heading no 5

5.6 blank lines which seem to belong to the number

Heading no 6
rest of doc
I can sometimes straighten it out by inserting actual blank lines and
hard returns but when I re-open the doc, the additional heading
reappears.

This is on XP Prof, Word 2003.
Any ideas, apart from throwing the laptop out of the window.....
