Unwanted white space between lines of text.

I have inherited a 20 page document. Using standard
styles to format, (Heading 1, 2, Body text 1, 2 etc.) I
find that on one page a space occurs on the screen where
non was requested. Using the cursor to move between
lines, show that the space doesn't really exist. Copy
paste to a new document shows that the new doc is fine.
Copy paste back into the original document indicates that
the problem is still there.
Can anyone, a) understand the problem and B0 help me fix
it.

With the left mouse button, triple-click on the paragraph before the
unwanted space. Is some or all of the unwanted space highlighted with
the paragraph? If so, click on Format | Paragraph | Indents and Spacing
| Spacing After: 0 pt.

Triple-click the paragraph after the unwanted space. Is some or all of
the unwanted space highlighted with the paragraph? If so, click on
Format | Paragraph | Indents and Spacing | Spacing Befo 0 pt.

Dear Garfield,
I have tried all those kind of tricks. It is not related
to the brofe and after spacing. I have a feeling that it
is related to "Frames". Whenever I check out the style,
whitout making changes, the text in this area appears out
of place, in a text frame. Slecting and then "removing
Frame" brings the text back to the "Almost" correct place.

Any othe ideas

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, make sure that the vertical alignment is
set to Top and not Justified.
