Paragraph Formatting

[Jay]

Office 2003 seems to have changed the logic as it relates
to using "Keep with next" paragraph formatting. It's my
experience in previous versions of Word that using "keep
with next" will force at least 2 lines of the current
paragraph to stay with the following paragraph when a
page break is necessary between the start of the first
para and the end of the second para.

Office 2003 seems to have it's own illogical logic. I
haven't figured out what the rule is that determines
whether Word should move the entire paragraph to the
second page when the para was formatted to "keep with
next." For the most part it's acting as if I had turned
on both "keep with next" and "keep together." Yet, as I
modify the sizes of paragraphs before the two
I'm "connecting" the page break moves to different places
and I haven't been able to determine what determines the
location of the page break.

Are several paragraphs in succession using "Keep with next" and/or
"Keep lines together"? That could cause unexpected page breaks.

Another thing to consider is whether "Widow/Orphan control" is enabled
(in the Paragraph dialog box) for the affected paragraph(s)? If it is,
does deselecting that option make a difference?
