How do I remove the spaces created by empty text frames in indesign

Question

Goodday.

I have been trying to remove the spacing between these text frames but I have not been able to.

I tried backspacing, deleting and the text is not moving into the blank text frame.

I tried the Grep style that allows to change Multiple spacing into single spacing but it doesn't highlight this space when I click on Find.

I even tried Multiple Return to Single return using Grep but it still doesn't find it.

I believe this extra spacing format came in from the Microsoft word document I imported the text from.

I have more of this unneccessary spacing that refuses to budge.

Note: Smart text reflow is turned on.

Allow Pages to shuffle is also turned on.

They are all threaded actually.

Quite odd...

It certainly looks like the frames are threaded, but perhaps you have two sets of frames since the end-of-story marker is there.

The other possibility is the paragraph style assigned to the E is set to start on next page.

Break options in the paragraph styles will help you.Consider to make the letter to spann all colummns without a page or column break.
