I'm working on a document that starts:
\documetnstyle[emlines,11pt]{book}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{headings}
\markboth{header}{header}
\section*{Section title}
\subsection*{subsection title}
text
\end{document}
The thing works pretty well with one exception. On page one
of what is so far a 4 page document, I get a one line space
between paragraphs. On page two the distance between text and
the subsection seems to be double normal and paragraph breaks
are definitely two lines. On page three the subsection spacing
is closer to the text that on the first page, and there is no
line between paragraphs. I do use \pagebreak to go from page
1 to 2 and 2 to 3, but aside from that i input a chart on page
three and have about 6 \subsection commands throughout the
document. I can not figure out why the breaks change on nearly
every page. Any help would be most helpful. The version of
emTeX I have was retrieved in Februaury, and I'm using
LaTeX. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a simple problem: you don't have enough text to fill some pages, and latex is doing the best it can by stretching the glue between paragraphs. You might want to use \raggedbottom; see the latex manual. Patrick Maher Department of Philosophy p-maher@uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
