Hans, here is what I tried (MWE):
\setuppapersize[A4]
\starttext
\section{Introduction}
\startmixedcolumns[distance=5mm, balance=yes]
\dorecurse {25} {
\subsection{Subsection Heading}
\penalty10000
If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally
hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would
never have thought of them or perceived their importance. \endgraf
}
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
As you see, I tried \penalty10000 after the subsection heading.
But in the resulting PDF, on page 3, in the left column, we see a
subsection heading at the bottom of the column with nothing below it. So
something didn't work.
Am I not doing it the way you meant?
Thanks for your help,
Lars
