Hey, thanks for offering to help. My problem was that some paragraphs were indented, most weren't, and some were single-spaced while others were spread out with no sensible pattern. Didn't have the blank space problem though. That sounds frustrating. Anyways I finally fixed it by c&p each chapter into multiple word processors and removing all my formatting, then c&p those versions into the post. At one point the comments/highlighting done by my unofficial beta simply would not go away. I still don't know how that was fixed.
