That assumes (as other respondents have done) that by "line breaks" the OP
actually meant paragraph breaks, which I suspect is correct (unless the
material was pasted from the Web). I was taking him literally. If he ever
manages to find his way back, perhaps we'll learn more.

Use a style for the speaker name and include keep with next as one of its
settings. Or format each speaker name manually.

Hi All,
I wonder whether you knowledgeable folk can help me... I'm really stuck
with this one and it's driving me slightly crazy.
I'm re-typing/ editing a theatre script in word. It's formatted so that
the Character's name who is speaking is on one line and then directly
below is there dialogue. There is then 2 line breaks before the next
section of dialogue... E.g:
SAM
Hello There how are you?
JOHN
I'm fine thanks... How was your day?
SAM
Good... (etc. etc.)
What I want to stop work from doing is splitting the Character's name
and the line or a series of lines over a page...
At the moment I'm getting a lot of this:
SAM
Hi There how are you?
JOHN
--NEW PAGE---
I'm fine thanks... How was your day?
And also some of this:
SAM
Hello there - line one blah blah
--NEW PAGE--
line continues
JOHN
etc. etc.

Does any one know of any way to get Word to stop doing this? The
document is over 300 pages long and it's taking me a very long time to
go through and manually sort out these page breaks.
Thank You,
Sam
