How do I stop Word putting text at bottom of page onto next page?

[AndrewNicholas]

Word pushes some text at the bottom of the page onto the next page, thereby
creating a gap at the bottom of the page. How do I get Word to stop doing
this?

 

[Stefan Blom]

The following settings may be relevant in such a case: "Keep with next,"
"Keep lines together," and "Widow/orphan control" (all found in the
Paragraph dialog box).

Note, however, that the best way to deal with this depends on what kind of a
document you are creating. Is it a numbered outline of heading styles? A
document with footnotes in it?

 

[Graham Mayor]

Turn off the Widows And Orphans option that is part of the paragraph format.
