"Keep lines together" doesn't work in Word

[Gary Burton]

I have Office XP at home, and Office 2003 at work. In neither case can I get the "Keep lines together" function to work.

Here is what I do:
I highlight the text that I want to keep together, right click on the selection, select "Paragraph formating", go to "Line and page breaks", and check "Keep lines together".

When I do that, the lines don't stay together as I believe they should. What does work, however, is the "Keep with next" selection; but that selection isn't always a good work-around.

Please tell me if there is a way to make it work.

Hi Gary,

You didn't mention what's happening, but in Print Layout view
using 'Keep Lines together' applies to page breaks occuring
within a single paragraph. 'Keep with Next' applies to page
breaks between two consecutive paragraphs.

Thanks!

I was misinterpreting it. I was trying to keep keep either two
paragraphs together, or a paragraph and a graphic.
