How to remove paragraph spacing in word

Question

I am experiencing some technical issues in my Word document regarding spacing between paragraphs. There is a lot of spacing between two pages and I cannot remove it. When I try to remove it, it just deletes the words.

It is especially present in parts where I divides some parts of the text in two columns.

How to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Sara Cetkovic,

Select the paragraphs you want to modify, right-click, and select "Paragraph" from the context menu. In the Paragraph dialog box, set the "Before" and "After" spacing to 0.

There are half a dozen formatting issues that could cause that appearance. Begin by choosing File>Options>Display and check the option for Show all formatting marks. Then repost a screen shot.
