Way back in the old days, WordPerfect had a feature called "block protect". You highlighted a number of lines and then applied block protect and the protected text could not be separated by a page break. The whole block would be moved to the following page rather than breaking up the block. Does Openoffice have a way of doing the same thing?
There are a number of similar facilities in OpenOffice Writer. They are paragraph and paragraph style properties, so you will find them at Format | Paragraph... | Text Flow | Options (or right-click | Paragraph... | Text Flow | Options) and at right-click | Edit Paragraph Style... | Text Flow | Options.
o "Do not split paragraph" means what it says: the entire paragraph is kept together and will not be split by a page or column break. o "Keep with next paragraph" puts the current paragraph into what you are calling a "block" with the following paragraph - keeping them together. o "Orphan control" and "Widow control" enable you to set the minimum numbers of lines of a paragraph which can be separated from the rest of the paragraph, either at the end of the beginning of a page or column.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
