Empty lines in Printed Documentation

I have a single-sourcing project where I produce a CMH file for the field and a Word file for the factory. Since updating to Robohelp 7.01.001 I am finding a number of empty lines in the Word file which were not in the HTML.

I can eliminate some of these with Search-and-replace, but others I have to find visually, which is time-consuming. The lines appear at the beginning and/or end of some topics, and before or after (some) tables, but I can see no further pattern.

There are about 50 spurious lines in about 200 pages.

Has anyone else seen this problem? Any suggestions about it?

I haven't seen any difference with Adobe RH7 if we are talking about the same issue. What I do get is unwanted lines above some headings if they are at the top of the page. Adobe are aware of that.

Try mapping to a different style sheet. Ignore the wrong appearance and see if fixes the extra lines if your problem is not the same one.

Peter, thanks for the quick response.

I tried a new style sheet, that made no difference. So I opened my backup project with Robohelp 5 and re-generated (it's a good job I'm paranoid!). Sure enough the spurious empty lines had been there all along, I only noticed them now because they happened to be close to the ENDASH problem discussed elsewhere.

I can eliminate the most egregious with Word's Search-and-replace; the rest will just result in some wasted paper.
