Default Question on Word Bullet Spacing

I am working on a paper for a professor who INSISTS that on a double-sided
document, the last line of text be flush with the page number at the bottom
of the page.

However, on pages with bulleted lists, this isn't working. The "blank
space" in the "Double Space" is at the bottom instead.

I realize that sounds a bit confusing so let me put this another way: I
have a document that is 100% double spaced everywhere. The entire document
is set to "0 pt" space before and after all paragraphs. Therefore the
bulleted lists should be spaced identically to a regular double-spaced
paragraph.

However when I take a bulleted list and turn off the bullets, the pagination
changes. A line is "sucked up" from the next page and is then "flush" with
the page number at the bottom (which is what the professor wants).

If *everything* is double-spaced, why should taking a few lines/paragraphs
and converting them to a bulleted list affect pagination in any way? Note
that none of the lines are changing from one line to two because of the
indent. All of them are 1-2 words, none of them even come close to the right
margin. If I could upload an example I would, it's very frustrating. I
appreciate any help.

Sorry error in my first paragraph.

Should say:

"I am working on a paper for a professor who INSISTS that on a double-SPACED
document, the last line of text be flush with the page number at the bottom
of the page."

Default Question on Word Bullet Spacing

When line spacing is set to "Double" (or "Single" or "Multiple" for that matter), the actual distance between baselines depends on the font and font size. I'm guessing the bullet character changes the line spacing slightly in this case. What you can do is choose a *fixed* value for line spacing instead. Experiment to find out the suitable value for the font and size you have for the text.

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm for a discussion of
the issues involved. FWIW, however, I've never heard of a layout that put
the page number and the last line of text on the same line.
