page pagination

X

XY

For some reason sometimes there is only 1/4 of a page of typing and then it
goes onto the next page. When I delete the space it takes the whole lot down
- in other words there is even less at the top of the page. There are no
extra spaces etc in the document which seem to need deleting. I am using
Word 2003.

Check the following:

1. In File>Page Setup, Layout tab, make sure that Vertical Alignment
is set to "Top".

2. Is one or more paragraphs set to "Keep with next", "Keep lines
together" and/or "Page break before" (on the Line and Page Breaks tab
of Format>Paragraph)? Clear the settings for all paragraphs except
those that really need them.

3. In Format>Paragraph, Indents and Spacing tab, verify that Line
Spacing and Spacing Before/After is what you want.

Thank you so much. Just wondering if there is any way I can correct the whole document at once instead of paragraph by paragraph?

For suggestion 1: In the Page Setup dialog box, you can choose which
part of the document to apply changes; to change Vertical Alignment
for all sections, choose "Whole document" in the "Apply to" box.

For suggestions 2 and 3: You can use Edit>Replace to find and replace
paragraph formatting. A good long-term solution would be to learn
about styles and apply them to the appropriate paragraphs. (Then you
can easily remove undesired formatting not in style by pressing Ctrl+Q
[to remove paragraph formatting] and Ctrl+SpaceBar [to remove font
formatting].) See
