Word removes spaces
The Word program removes the spaces between blocked paragraphs near the top of the page. I re-add the spaces but as I edit my work, the compressed paragraphs return. What's the explanation and how do...
William1765 Can you upload a copy of the document so that we can investigate the issue.
I don't see a way of uploading.
The easiest way to replicate the issue is typing a few paragraphs on an open document. If I move the paragraphs down by hitting enter, when the text reaches the second page, the space between the first two complete paragraphs on the new page disappears. What seems to cause the problem is any increase in the amount of lines within the document and then on the page following, it creates a loss of the space between the first two paragraphs. It's ongoing—in different files it does the same thing.
Not a huge issue, easy to fix, but I write fiction and the repetition is annoying when I'm editing.

- The problem:
They drove through the night and were pulling into Indianapolis the next morning. It was sixty miles to Kokomo from there, and Branigan dropped Iacono off at the bus station. He was positive it'd be the last time they'd ever meet, and he said, "Good luck, Big Ears," before he drove off. He had a feeling it wouldn't take the Cosa Nostra long to find him in Kokomo. When Iacono got off the bus in his hometown, he wasn't sure what to do next. He was down to the last of the money Adriano had sent, and he'd need somewhere to spend the night. Going to his parents' house would be a last resort. His father had found out through the grapevine that he'd joined the mob and it had led to a heated confrontation. He'd hardly talked to him in the years since.

At the top of every page following the addition of lines in a page before it. It compresses the first two paragraphs into one. Capiche?
