Microsoft Word

[PLAZ]

I am having a problem with Microsoft Word software which I cannot seem to be able to correct.

I am writing a document that consists of approximately 200 pages. When I go through the document to correct errors I find that I cannot move certain paragraphs up where they belong on the previous page.

Instead when I click on the paragragh I get the header and footer dotted lines and toolbar With a huge footer. Setting the footer dimensions doesn't fix the problem. The huge footer which is about 3 times too tall persists. I can't seem to be able to reduce its size to what I want .

Can someone tell me how to correct this?

This is not solving my problem. I want to be able to move text up or down using the backspace key or the enter key and this is what I cannot do. I tried all the options given to me and they just make the problem worse.

Would it help if I uninstalled Word and reinstalled it?

Try showing all of your hidden characters. As Statica mentioned, you may have some formatting going on in the background that you cannot see.
