Currently using Microsoft Office Word 2003 and finding that not all pages
have the same number of lines printed on them. Any suggestions on how to
make each page the same length when there is no page break, if I go to each
individual page can add the lines to them but don't want to do that for over
300 pgs.
Set for 1" margins all around and widow. Have tried looking for special
characters and haven't found any.

This can be caused by the default "widow and orphan" control. See
Format-->Paragraph, Line and Page break tabs.

Anne Troy Thank you for your suggestion, but when I removed widow's I still
had the issue with different lengths of printed page. It is always a new
paragraph at the bottom of the page another other suggestions or am I just
going to have to adjust each page individually

Thank you for the instructions and I could see that by bottom of the page
break with a new paragraph is my problem but whether i have widow checked or
not checked it didn't change anything. Any other suggestions on what I am
doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Do you have "keep together" and/or "keep with next" for your paragraphs, or
some similar grouping kind of paragraph format option? Look under
Format|Paragraph|... options.
