Default I WANT widow orphan control, but it's not working for me

It's always nice to know what's causing a problem even if it doesn't help to
fix it. But I agree it's still a PITA that there's no way to fix it. One
thing I've found is that if I view the document in Normal view, I can see
that Word is totally ignoring the wrapped object and thinks it's breaking
the page as if the text were full-width.

You're right!! There is a graphic on my letterhead stationery that I

wasn't
even aware of. Thanks for solving the mystery!

Is the paragraph next to a wrapped object? Word gets confused in such
situations, I've found.

Like most people, widow-orphan control is enabled by default on my

computer.
But sometimes widow-orphan control just will not work. For example,

right
now, I have a paragraph that all fits on a page excepf for one word,

which
displays on the next page. I pulled up the widow-orphan menu, and sure
enough, it's enabled.

This happens to me a lot. Any suggestions?
