--- Comment #5 from rbruen...@spectruma.de --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #4) > > What line settings would be used if by default is set enabled? > I think that the current default setting of 2 lines is suitable. > Also, aren't the two mutually exclusive?

They are meant for two different things. > Orphan: Specifies the minimum number of lines in a paragraph before a page > break. > Widow: Specifies the minimum number of lines in a paragraph in the first > page after the break. If both checked active and both at default of 2--what > happens? I also cannot remember which of both applies to the paragraph start or paragraph end. Here is what I have looked up. Widow: If your paragraph does not fit on the page and the last line would go to the top of the next page, this setting causes the previous line also to go on the new page so that the "widowed" line (consisting probably of only one or two words) does not stand alone on top of the page. Orphan: If only one line of your new paragraph just fits on the bottom of the page while the rest of the paragraph goes to the next page, this setting prevents that "orphaned" line on the bottom of the page and causes the paragraph to go completely to the next page. Both settings control the page break that would happen after the first or before the last line of a paragraph, respectively. Please also refer to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widows_and_orphans) In the past, I have always checked both options in the Paragraph dialog and it has always worked perfectly.
