Need help to delete break   
Word 2007

I've done a search and read all the threads on deleteing breaks and am still 
at a loss.

I have a outline going that is now at 3 pages and growing.  After a Heading 
I line and a following line of normal text Word is insisting on a break 
before I resume with a heading 2 format text.  The break appears on the draft 
view and leaves 2/3 of a page blank on the first page.  In the draft view it 
is just a dotted line and does not identify itself as a page or section 
break.  If I go to the end of the document, on the lower bar ther is no 
information on multiple sections so I am assuming that there is only one 
section.  If I highlight the text before, through and past the offending 
break, the break does not go away.  I can't selct the break in draft mode so 
that I can delete it.  I tried making the bottom margin smaller from one 
thread, with no effect.

How can I delete this break?

Further input   
The offending break seems to occur after the "Normal" format text and just 
before the outline numbered text outline begins.  If I change the top three 
lines (the project name, the title of the document and the date) to say 
"Heading 1" then the automatic break disappears.  

I don't want the entire document to be a numbered outline; I need the 
document to have the project name, the title of the document and the date 
before the outlione begins.

Re: Further input   
If your outline is constructed of heading styles, the problem is caused by 
the fact that Headings 1-4 are formatted as "Keep with next" (Format | 
Paragraph | Line and Page breaks), which causes them to chase one another 
until they fill a page and Word is forced to insert a break. To avoid this 
problem, remove the KWN formatting from at least Headings 3 and 4.

Brilliant!   
I don't completely understand that bit of subtlety, but it worked.  

Thanks!
