Page Layout ⇒ Unwanted Gap at Top of Page

[bezza]

Hi All,

Wonder if anyone can help. I've not got the source file to post here because I hope it's relatively simple to sort out and I'm just missing something. I have a paragraph end with a reference which is then going to a new page. When I put the paragraph break in \\ the reference e.g. (bez [2009]) stays on the one page, which then leaves a large gap at the top of the next page. I have tried numerous things but removal of the break results in the year of the reference dropping down a page and then no paragraph break.

Hope that makes sense! Any ideas?!

Cheers in advance.

Nevertheless a solution would be much easier to find if you reduce the problem to a proper minimal example to avoid guesswork for others. This might be the reason why is thread is orphaned for such a long time.

As Thorsten said this is a case where a minimal working example is invaluable. Nevertheless I want to add that a paragraph break is never produced with \\! \\ starts a new line which is not the same as the end of a paragraph. There are two ways to start a new paragraph:

1. leave an empty line in your source

   Code: Select all

   ...this is the end of a paragraph.
   
   This is the start of a new paragraph...

2. add \par instead of \\

   Code: Select all

   ...this is the end of a paragraph.\par
   This is the start of a new paragraph...
