outline leaves lots of white space in print layout, eliminate?

[manfromnantucket]

using office 2007 with vista
i create outlines in outline layout; everything looks good
when i change to print layout, or print, i end up with seemingly random
chunks of white space that act almost like page breaks.
i've checked, there is no formatting causing this problem. it happens
several times in the same document
how to i stop this from happening?
thanks for your help

Are you using the built-in heading styles for your outline? If so, note that
Heading 1--Heading 4 are formatted as "Keep with next" by default, which
will cause unexpected page breaks. Make sure to clear the "Keep with next"
setting from those styles.
