word makes crazy page breakes

in a large document, I experience that word 2003 automaticly makes a page
break right before a new paragraph - when I don't want it to!! sometimes I
can succed in getting the text back on the right page, but offen it is only
possible, if I make like 5-10 blank lines (by pressing return) It can be,
that it makes a pagebreak after only 4 lines of text.
Pleace help- it is a important report that has to look it's best!

Make sure that the problem paragraphs don't have "Page break before"
enabled (in FormatParagraph, Line and Page Breaks tab). Another
possible problem is that "Keep with next" (in the same dialog box) is
enabled for multiple successive paragraphs, which might also create
unexpected page breaks, as Word tries to honor the setting. If you are
familiar with paragraph styles, make sure that the options are correct
for those, too.

"Keep lines together" formatting will also exacerbate the problem.
