I have a 274-page manuscript. It is set for no lines between paragraphs. This setting applies perfectly throughout the document, except for one paragraph. There is a phantom line between it and the paragraph above.

This extra line does not appear in my document view but does appear in the “preview” pane on the Paragraph settings menu, and it appears when I upload the document to the publishing company.

I’ve tried various paragraph settings (including “Keep lines together”), retyping both paragraphs in the document, retyping both paragraphs in Notepad and pasting them over the existing paragraphs. At one point, I thought I was successful in removing the extra space, but it reappeared between the next two paragraphs.

Is there an option that I may have overlooked?
