Without form simply means it was yet to be formed. Void means empty.
And empty means that there was no water...There was nothing...
And somewhere after the semi-colon in Gen 1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Apparently the face of the deep at the time was between the earth and the water...There was no Heaven at the time...
So somewhere between Gen. 1:1 and the middle of Gen. 1:2 and beyond, God put the water on the earth and gathered it into one place...
And that's another interesting artifact of scripture...There was one sea and one land mass...

(I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so..)

Action A: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Condition upon Action A: and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
At the moment of creation, in the beginning, there were both the heavens and the earth. A subsequent description of the conditions of part of that creation, the earth, that doesn't include anything about the heavens previously described as having been created "in the beginning," can't be used to posit the lack of the heavens (everything other than the earth): "there was no Heaven [sic] at the time."
