No luck at all in the suggestions, though thanks all the same Guessed and macropod.


Also, am including some screen shots of draft mode view and document map side by side. (Strange that some of the numbers/letters of sub paragraphs are missing. And I'm not sure if the lines/dots along the left sides of the views help explain the strangeness.)

Thanks again in advance for your consideration.

If you mean the white space at the bottom of the first page, for example, that has nothing to do with empty paragraphs or anything of the kind. Rather, it's a consequence of your use of 'keep with next' and 'keep together' paragraph settings. I suggest you remove those for the entire document and only apply them where you need to keep content together at an automatic page break - or insert manual page breaks beforehand.
