Try turning off widow and orphan control (found on the line and page breaks
tab of the paragraph dialog).

This drives me absolutley crazy! I have Word 2003. At the bottom of pages,
the autoformat will leave big gaps if it decides that lines from a paragraph
would be lonely at the bottom by themselves while the rest of the paragraph
is on the next page. For example, I'm coming to the end of a page and type
out a paragraph 4 lines long. Rather than leaving 2 lines on this page and
putting 2 on the next, the damn thing pushes the whole paragraph onto the
next page, thus leaving this 2-line blank spot at the bottom of a page. It
looks terrible and gives me formatting nightmares. The end of one page looks
like the end of the whole document because there's a huge empty space at the
bottom. How do I tell this damn program that I know more about what I want
than it does?! THANKS
