gaps in output

My output is WordML and I had copied the xsl:stylesheet element at the
top of an example without seeing the xml:space="preserve" that was in
there.  Thanks!!!

I suspect your stylesheet contains an xml:space="preserve" attribute (it
shouldn't)

If that doesn't solve it, show us your code: it's always difficult to
find
bugs when you can't see the code.
