Hello. Now I have another serious problem since what I'm writing at the
moment has a 15 pages limit. Margins of one inch all around are permitted,
and I've set it that way in the Page Setup dialog of the File menu.
However
on some pages, an extra 5/8 inches appears at the bottom That is, 1 and
3/4
total, since my page numbers are occupying 1/8 inch. I do have footnotes
on
other pages, but not on the pages affected. And No, it's not because of a
lot
of carriage returns inserted there. I can turn on View Special Characters
(the little pilcrow icon at the top) and I see nothing there!

I'm posting this right away in case someone knows the answer right away,
but
meanwhile I'll keep investigating it. At the risk of giving people a
headache: On one page a certain table midway down the page (not at the
bottom) seemed to be the problem since I could delete the table and the
margins would be fine again, put it back and the problem reappears. But
when
I did further editing of the document, deleting stuff thus causing stuff
to
move upward in the document, now that page is fine (though it still has
the
table in it - actually it's two smaller tables inside a larger table), but
the problem appears on a different page!

Thanks in advance!
