Word 97 blank space tw lines

[Bill Mathews]

Word 97 will occasionally insert extra blank space between lines. This
usually happens after a formatting change, but not always.
This space cannot be selected or deleted. The cursor jumps from the end of
the text line above to the start of the text line below the blank space,
ignoring the blank space.
Paragraph formatting is set to line spacing single, and all other values are
the default values also.
Does anyone know 1)what causes this and 2) how to get rid of the blank
space? (Deleting everything from the end of the text line above the blank
space - and even deleting back into the line - does _not_ work. The blank
space reappears as soon as the cursor drops to the next text line.)
Thanks!

Top and not Justified.
