Mr. Raymond Kenneth Petry

I have an automatic html-to-rtf generator (my screenplay formatter output)
that looks nice except on a multiply-directed dialog (having multiple
actor-directions: multiple parenthesis-lines between multiple text-fragments,
in the actor-dialog).

(Also \widctlpar is Defaulted for the document, never challenged, And it
works!)
__

The problem becomes obvious when the page-boundary does not fall within a
large text-fragment having 4-or-more lines to be broken into 2+2-or-more by
widctlpar:--

The Microsoft Word Viewer (11, sp3) then shoves the entire Actor-dialog down
to the next page ... leaving the page-above, half-unused and looking
spaced-out...!--

Even though, the very preceding text-fragment has 4-or-more lines...to be
split...!

Ergo: the rtf-viewer is not backing line-by-line till it can split a large
text-fragment.

How do we overcome the spaced-out shove?

Ray.
