thanks Kino
I already have applied what Hamid suggested. No use. I guess that NW 
need to be alerted about this disturbing bug.

>> Hi,
>> I have a file that used to be 40 pages (now 78 pages). It is in Arabic with various lengths of footnotes. Blank pages are generated separating the text. One example is the text on page 17 is continued on page 50 with blank pages in between. If I apply delete then the last 2 words connect. If I apply a space between the 2 words, then all these blank pages come back!! This is happening in more than one place in the file. I suspect that it has to do with the footnotes, some of which are about one page long.
