Blank space in the middle of a document
I was typing a document in pages. Somehow there is a large blank space between paragraphs and I don’t know how to get rid of it

With the document open, and the large blank spaces visible, go to the View menu and select Show Invisibles. If you see a number of blue Paragraph break characters ( ¶ ) it means you've presses return several times between paragraphs, and that is what is causing the blank space.
More likely, though, you'll see only one ¶
at the end of each paragraph, or one at the end of the paragraph and a second at the beginning of an empty line before the next paragraph. If that's the case, do this:
I suspect you'll find the Before Paragraph or After Paragraph setting to be somewhat larger than the settings in this example. Reduce the settings to the values shown for a space between paragraphs only slightly wider that the space between lines in a singe-spaced paragraph.
