You'll see the problem immediately if you display nonprinting characters.
I'm guessing you pasted text from one footer into the other. When you do
this, no matter how carefully you select all but the paragraph mark when
copying and include the paragraph mark when pasting, you will still
invariably get an extra, empty paragraph. Delete this, and you should be
good to go.

Hello,

I am having difficulty with vertical alignment. I am preparing a
document which I will have printed out 2 pages per sheet, and I want
the top and bottom lines both aligned from left to right across both
pages on the sheet, as one would see in a book.

I find that by setting the vertical alignment to "justified" I end up
with the top lines all aligning just fine. But the bottom lines are
not aligned. There is more space at the bottoms of the odd pages than
the even pages. Strangely, the odd pages align with each other just
fine, and the even pages also align with each other, as I can see from
examining a print preview. But that leaves me with every sheet having
more blank space underneath the odd than the even pages.

Could this have to do with the fact that I have different
headers/footers for odd and even pages, as well as a different
header/footer for the first page?

Thanks so much for any ideas.

Josh
