Default Big White space in my document, can't get rid of it!

If there is not a manual page break between the title and the first text
paragraph, then delete the manual page break. Switching to Normal view
may help you to see this better.

Triple-click on the paragraph at the top of the second page. Click on
Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks tab | uncheck the boxes for
"Keep lines together", "Keep with next", and "Page break before" | OK.

Someone sent me their meeting minutes that I need to print out.
I have Word 2003.
There is no header or footer on this document.
At the top is the title, then the name of the meeting and date
then there is a huge white space and the minutes start on the next page.
I've received minutes from this person and others but this didn't happen.
I've tried page set up and making sure it says "continuous" there, tried
format/paragraph and unchecked everything there, clicked on the paragraph
thingie and just see paragraph marks where they should be.
I've done what help said to do to remove breaks, but nothing helps.
What's left? sigh Word can be so unfriendly
