Every now and again a word doc decides that the paragraph spacing on the final page should fill the page. There's nothing in the Format, Paragraph dialogue box to indicate anything different from the rest of the doc and the pilcrow doesn't reveal anything amiss. It jsut shows large blanks between paras.



any ideas please?

Click File | Page Setup. On the Layout tab, make sure to set "Vertical alignment" to "Top."

Note, that the setting Stefan gave you is by Word section so make sure that your insertion point is on the problem page when you check the layout.

Thanks - this worked. Sorry for delay in replying but had to wait until it happened again. Pieter
