From: removing all headers and footers on 2 Jul 2008 21:44 In word 2003, one Word file with text that I got from another source has large amounts of extra space before every page break, and I cannot figure out why. It does not seem to be a footer with paragraph marks, I checked that, or a header?? In page setup, the margins are all one inch, but in page setup it shows it with 2/3 of a page and lots of space at the bottom. every page. Is there a pagebreak control? any ideas. thanks, JF
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 2 Jul 2008 22:03 Check the formatting of the paragraphs that begin the pages. On the Line and Page Breaks tab of Format | Paragraph, see if "Page break before" or "Keep with next" is checked. Also, if you'll display text boundaries (Tools | Options | View) you won't need to guess whether the space is in the footer or the document body. -- Suzanne S.

From: Terry Farrell on 4 Jul 2008 18:16 The clue is the little black box in the left margin adjacent to the paragraphs with Keep Lines Together applied. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "removing all headers and footers" <removingallheadersandfooters(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2AFD7D05-1BDA-4988-9CC0-F2C548BE8AD4(a)microsoft.com... > > thanks.
