That all depends on what paragraph formatting, margins, etc. you're using. Without seeing the particular document, one can only hazard a guess.

Thanks for the response. Here are the default settings for this document: Normal template, 1 inch margins, letter size, Times New Roman font, size 12, spacing 0 pt. Before, 10 pt. After, Single Space, text Justified, Applied To whole document. No headers/footers.

There are 1,680 pages, most of which show a full page of text. Some pages, however, are arbitrarily abbreviated. Why is that? On the abbreviated page, I hit the DELETE key, text on the next page jumps up to the current page. Then, if I hit the ENTER key, the text jumps back to the page from whence it came, still leaving a large white space on the abbreviated space.

Very frustrating.
