Lissi,
Try clicking on the rectangles and see if there is a
large blue or black space, if you can tell. Whether or
not you can see it, open Format, click on paragraph,
and see if there's a number other than zero in the
spaces under Spacing, Before and After. I've found
that when I make those zero, those blank spaces where
there were pictures that didn't scan go away.
