I am having a problem in MS Word 2003 where when I am using numbered bullets
if the paragraphs are really long, they do not split over a page and
subsequentally I have large gaps at the bottom of each page.

Are you using the built-in heading styles to create a numbered
outline? Then turn off the "Keep with next" option (enabled by default
for the heading styles).

Thanks Stefan. Where do I find the 'keep with next' option to turn it off?
Thanks

Display the Modify Style dialog box (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html),
click the Format button, click Paragraph, and then click
the Line and Page Breaks tab. Clear "Keep with next" (and
indeed also "Page break before", if it is enabled).

Note that if numbering was not applied with styles, you
have to use Format | Paragraph to access "Keep with next"
and the other text flow options.
