I have an issue with my Word document; a large blank space has appeared on my first page and I really can't get rid of it. This is also the case in several other places in my document.
To remove the blank space at the bottom of page n:
- Click at the beginning of the first line on page n+1,
- "Enter"
- the paragraph from page n that was followed by a blank will move to page n+1
- repeat to move all the paragraphs from page n to page n+1
- when all the paragraphs from page n have moved to page n+1, page n disappears.
Phew, it's annoying, long but it works

Hello,
start by selecting your text Home tab/paragraph section, click on the small square at the bottom right of the section tab Indentation and spacing
or right-click on the selection and Paragraph/Indentation and spacing/section Spacing/Line spacing select single/and in Before and After select 0 pt
in English it should say /Paragraph/section spacing/Line spacing/select single/and before and after select 0 pt
also check that you don’t have unnecessary paragraph returns by displaying this symbol ¶

Too much space "after" or "before" the paragraphs? cf format > Paragraph... People who fight can lose. People who do not fight have already lost. (Bertolt BRECHT)

It's not before or after a paragraph but right in the middle of it.

Hello Julie35,
“a large white space”: that’s not precise enough!
a) If the spaces between the words of a paragraph are wider than usual, you must have set the paragraph to Justified instead of Left-aligned (or Centered, or Right-aligned).
b) There’s also the white space of the margins; you need to adjust those.
c) There’s also the space between pages in page mode.
It's up to you to clarify. Best regards. :)

Hello, I'm sorry for not being very specific, but it's a bit hard to explain for a novice.. Basically, I have a space of 10cm between two lines even though it's the same paragraph. If I hit "delete" to try to remove the space, it deletes the last letter of my top line. And conversely, if I hit "backspace" while on my top line.

@Julie35It's the line spacing! You need to change it to Single line spacing!

No, that doesn't solve the problem :/

@Julie35 I believe you may not have done it correctly; try this instead:
Step 1: for a single paragraph, simply place your text cursor anywhere within that paragraph; for multiple paragraphs, you must first select them.
Step 2: < Alt >< L >< iL >, choose 1.0
You can type the 2 L in lowercase: I wrote them in uppercase to avoid you confusing them with a capital I.
If your problem is resolved, please indicate it, so that the topic can be marked as resolved.
Best regards. :)

Is it the same if my Word is in English? Is it possible for you to see what it is like with a screenshot?

Hello,
Wouldn't there be page breaks or section breaks in those places?

Hello, Actually no, as soon as I get to the last letter of the line and press delete, it just brings up the letter from the next word. And when I go to the bottom of the page and try to delete, it suddenly brings me back to my text at the top with a jump.
