Does Word have a function like WordPerfect's block protect?

[Administrivia Maven]

In WordPerfect, you could highlight a phrase or paragraph of text and select
"block protect" to assure that that segment would not be separated by a page
break. This was useful when multiple edited versions of a document caused
frequent changes in page breaks. Is there a similar function in Microsoft
Word? Thanks.

Yes. Select your text, right click, and select paragraph. In the box that
opend, select the Lines and Page Breaks tab. Check the box for Keep Lines
Together. Sometimes I also select Keep with Next if the first one doesn't
work by itself.

Although "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together" are helpful, they are
not, even used jointly, the equivalent of Block Protect. Because WordPerfect
doesn't have the same concept of paragraphs as a unit that Word does, you
can block protect part of a paragraph, or part of one paragraph together
with part of another. There's no exact equivalent in Word.
