cannot adjust block and section height adequately

hello

please help

trying to reduce the space at the bottom of each setion. I cannot reduce the number of rows, I cannot slide the section height adjustor up far enough, and when I try to redue the height of the block a red line runs along the bottom of the block. I am left with huge blank spaces at the end of many sections. thanks

Click Edit Section> Reduce Row Count

hello thank you I have tried that the the row count does not reduce. It reverts back to whatever it was before. 

Hi @autismpsychology is that a text block or a code block? If text block, check there are no unwanted newlines. 

Do please share your website url and the location of the issue so the community can check and see if we can help.

my workaround is to save sections that don't have large spaces at the end, and paste them in then add my content to those. However, I'd really like to know how to reduce the blank spaces properly.

if you look at the page 'dr addie' and the section 'understanding autism in the courts of law' that is an example of the problem 

thanks for you help, everyone - much appreciated

When the bottom line turns red, this is indicating that you've reached the limit for reducing the height of the block, due to the size of the content. You'll need to edit the contents of the block, to reduce the block height further.

In your example, there are three empty paragraphs below the last line of text (after the word "Therapy".)

If you delete these, the bottom of the section should move up to remove the empty space. If it doesn't, check the Section Height in the Edit Section panel.
