Pages puts mysterious line feeds in docs

Short update. I notice it's when I insert another paragarph in the middle with a different format. Once I hit enter it shoots the next paragraph to the next page like I inserted a page break. But I don't have anything that says to change paragraph format after my new paragraph.

Then if I continue editing the only way to bring the paragraph from the 2nd page back to first is to use the backspace to bring each line with a carriage return up. It will not roll the entire document up. So quite tedious.

I figured it out. I don't care for the way they configured this, but I guess it's the way Pages works and maybe in the end I'll find it more useful or efficient.

I have to set the "Keep with following paragraph" in the Pagination and Break section.

I think it was a problem with how Pages interpreted Word. When I had the big gap, there were not carriage returns of line feeds. So for example on the 1st page I would only have text on half the page and if I hit the down arrow it would jump fro the middle of page 1 to the beginning of page2. So it seemed like there were no line feeds. It was like there was a page break. But there was none. If I went to page 2 and tried to bring up the text back to page 1 by hitting the delete key, it would only bring one paragraph at a time. I would have to go to each paragraph and bring it up since it seemed to set a new page break. Very strange! So I think it was something related to the conversion.
