I don't understand that either, or the separator lines. But more fundamentally, if FM is putting in a page break, it's because the entire proof (all the "keep with next" paragraphs plus whatever follows the last) *won't fit on one page*. Nothing you do with Keep With and Widow/Orphan settings will change that. If you want to avoid a page break, change the pgfs' space above/below, the line spacing, the anchored frame -- or, heck, change the height of the text frame. IOW, do something to make it all fit on one page, and FM won't try to break it across pages. HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
