centered line between paragraphs in word XP

[Octavee Uhl]

Hi,
I want to have a special line between certain paragraphs of a book.

The line should be about 1 inch long, centered and with a space 12 pt before
and after it.



When I use a style for this and through formatting it bumps on a new page,
that looks terrible.



What is the best way to do this without having orphans and widows?



Any ideas?
Thanks

Both the paragraph containing the line as the one *preceding* it must be
set to "keep with next" (Format | Paragraph | Layout).
