Text Handling 279

Styles (on page 263) menu. Do the same for each different heading style you use, to
make sure you are never left with a heading on its own at the bottom of a page.

Keep Lines Together

On the Advanced text bar - this is one of the PARAGRAPH OPTIONS - its prevents a
paragraph from being split across a page or column boundary. For example if you have
an important 2 line paragraph such as a long heading, you wouldn’t normally want the
second line of text to flow to the next page, leaving the first line at the bottom of the
previous page. Turning this option on makes sure that the 2 lines will always stay
together.

As with KEEP WITH NEXT PARAGRAPH, this option is on by default in the heading styles of
all the blank print templates. Update the heading styles in your existing documents in the
same way as described for KEEP WITH NEXT PARAGRAPH, above.
Widows and orphans

The last entry on the PARAGRAPH OPTIONS menu is the WIDOWS AND ORPHANS option.
Check the option to prevent the first line of a paragraph being left behind on one page
when the rest of the paragraph has flowed onto the next page (an orphan line). And
similarly it prevents the last line of a paragraph flowing to the next page on its own (a
widow line).
