Default White spaces appearing above and below the text

Hi,

I've working on a document that's originally in Works 6.0 - 9.0 format. For
some reason, there are now large white spaces above and below the text on
every page.

When I view formatting, I see the white spaces filled with grey-out
paragraph breaks.

It's not vertical centering and the margins have not been increased.

How do I get rid of the white spaces?

Any help will be much appreciated!

The greyed-out paragraph marks are in the headers and footers. Delete them.

Thanks very much, Jezebel, that worked perfectly. You've rescued my Saturday
afternoon!

Just curious now - how could they get in there like that?

I don't recollect setting headers and footers at all for this document. And
I certainly would not have put in blank white spaces.

Is this a glitch? Did I hit CTRL + something by mistake?

I was once involved with a major malfunction at a chemical plant. The expert
from Union Carbide flew in, looked around, announced that it was a UCPP, and
flew out again. Unexplained Chemcial Plant Phenomenon.

In your case we can determine unequivocally that the problem occurred at
11:17 when answered the phone while drinking coffee, and didn't notice that
your hand was on the keyboard.
