Of course, "white space" is relevant for Print Layout view only.
A paragraph border, as Suzanne suggested, possibly together with "Page break
before" formatting, seems more likely to be the problem.

I also am having trouble deleting the "hidden" section breaks. One row in a
table is section one, the very next row magically becomes section 2. I always
have "display all formatting marks" on, and certainlly know what a section
break looks like. The tables have no visible borders. But the border
between section 1 row and section 2 row has a slightly darker and heavier
dotted line. I have found the only way to get rid of the mystery section
breaks (which do not come up on "find"), is to do a column break before and
after the offending row, delete the row and retype. Not something I am
enjoying in this 23 page document.
