Hi, Jev!
If I had to guess, I'd say the creator of the original text file has put a "hard return" at the end of the "redundant machine and" line. So no matter where you put your margins, it's still going to want to star "erg-generated containment fields" on the next line.
There are various tricks for cleaning those up - I think if you search on "Gutenberg" here you'll find this issue raised.
Generally, if there are extra lines between the "real" paragraphs, you can do a find-and-replace in your word processor to clean this up.
In Word, I'd start with replacing the real paragraph endings and blank lines (^p^p) with a character(s) not likely to be in my text (maybe ~~ for example). Then I'd replace the single (not-real) paragraph endings (^p) with a space (or nothing, if there's a space at the end of the "redundant machine and" -type paragraphs.
Then I'd replace my ~~ back with paragraphs (^p or ^p^p, depending on my preference for the book) to get my real paragraphs back.
Good luck!
