Extra Space at the bottom of the page

Could someone please help me. There are pages on my document where I have
plenty of space left at the end of the page, but for some reason I cannot
join words that are on the next page with that page. I do not have footnotes
there or anything else like that.

Try a slight change in the bottom margin of the document, in File-Page
Setup. Sometimes changing from the default 1 inch to 0.8 inches will help.
If you don't have footnotes, you can go as low as 0.5.

Thank you Richard,

However, that does not seem to solve the problem. It is one specific page I
am having problems with in a multipage document, and changing the page
margins still had no affect on that page.

In addition to Suzanne's insights you might also check for:

1- Did you perhaps create a Next Page Section Break? Turn on the Show/Hide ¶
button to visualize it, or

2- Is the first para on the page following the 'empty space' formatted using
Page Break Before, either directly or by a Style?

Sorry - I have read the article - nice piece - but must have missed those
refs :)
