Actually, it seems that even with a single-column layout the "Do not split paragraph" box is rechecked and the Widow and Orphan control boxen are empty.
Every line in your example document is a new paragraph. To see that more clearly, click open the "View" and choose "Non-printing Characters". New paragraphs are then marked with a symbol which looks like a backwards "P" (also spaces show as a dot, and tabs as a right-pointing arrow).
To start a new line without starting a new paragraph, hold the Shift key when pressing Enter, instead of just pressing Enter (with Non-printing Characters shown, you see an arrow pointing down then left as is common on the Enter key). The options for widow and orphan control or keep paragraphs together then work. You might then want to change the "Indents and Spacing" paragraph options to remove the indent.
You can set different options for different paragraphs, so changing them at one point in the document won't affect the whole document. To save having to change every individual paragraph's options (once you've replaced new paragraph marks with new lines) you can modify the "Text body" style - from the "Format" menu choose "Styles and Formatting", right-click "Text body" and select "Modify..." and set whatever text flow, indent and other options you want for the style.
Hope that helps. Mark. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
