Thanks for the responses....they were both helpful. I actually had a couple
of issues: Window/Orphan control was indeed on, and I had an extra enter
)sometimes two) in my header. Now the pages are perfecto!

Thanks again!

I am preparing a document in Word 2003 for a book. The page settings are
5.06" wide and 7.81" high, and the margins are 1" top and bottom, and .75"
right and left. My font is Times New roman 12pt, and my line spacing is
16pt. For some reason, the number of lines per page is not consistent, and
it's not because I have an extra enter or any other character. Most of the
full pages have 26 lines, but some end up with 25 and occasionally 24. It
looks odd in a book when the left page has 26 lines and the right has 24 or
25. The reader is going to expect some kind of break in the narrative, but
the narrative is continuous. Just as a test, I changed to single line
spacing and to a more even page size (5.25 x 8) and the problem persisted.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I have the same number of lines per
full page?

Thanks!
