The first table fills a page, the second only partially fills the next
page but leaves at least a 5cm gap before the following text, which has
large gaps between paragraphs. I've tried -ve \vspace, etc to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
the page also reports an underfull \vbox, right?
i guess there's something (rather substantial, by the sound of it)
that doesn't fit in this page, so has to go on the next.
the commonest problem is in-text tables or figures or the like, or a
sequence of \sections and \subsections (etc) with no body text between
them (such a sequence doesn't break :-( )
the only way to deal with this sort of thing is either to rewrite the
source, or to say \raggedbottom, which will amalgamate all the gaps
between paragraphs into a single blob at the bottom of the page.
of course, if it's a sequence of sections, you were presumably going
to fill those placeholders anyway, so rewriting will happen in time.
but then, you're bothering about the formatting of a document whose
contents are not yet finished: this is not usually profitable (though
it's a natural human trait, and difficult to avoid).
