Pagination

[Mary jane]

I have a merge document that brings in various numbers of items. As it
merges whatever number in I need numbered items to remain together at the
bottom/top of the pages so users do not have to make manual adjustments every
time. Widow/orphan control did not work, any suggestions?

Thanks

It is inevitable that if you merge varying numbers of lines in a document
that the document content will move according the the amount of space the
lines take up. One answer would be to insert a frame large enough to take
all your entries and merge the entries into the frame.

So perhaps a frame per page that would hold 10 only and therfore 11+ goes to
the next page?

If you fix the height of the frame it will only hold the number of items you
enter into it. Extra ones will be lost. If you allow the height of the frame
to expand then it will do so and push the remaining text down. The only way
to ensure that nothing moves is to have the frame large enough to
accommodate the likely entries.
