Your suggestion to refrain from highlighting the second paragraph makes
sense. I'll remember that in the future. Unfortunately, I tried doing it
that way in this document, and it's still taking the entire first paragraph
down to the next page. I don't have "keep with next" selected anywhere else
in the document, so it's not that.

Any more ideas? I'm at a loss as to why it's doing this.

Thanks.

Put your cursor in the paragraph you want to keep with the next one. Format
Paragraph
You do not need or want both paragraphs selected unless you want this to
apply to both.

I create a question style that has this formatting. The style for the
following paragraph is my answer style.

For multiple guess questions, I have an answer style that also has this
formatting for all except the last answer. Then I have a derivative style
for the last one that is the same except it does not have keep with next
formatting.

If your question is less than four lines, it should be kept on the same page
by widow and orphan settings. Sometimes you get big jumps because you have
multiple paragraphs all formatted as keep-with-next.

What am I doing wrong? I have a question/answer-type document in Word. I
do
not want page breaks occuring between the pairs of Q&A paragraphs.
Breaking
the paragraphs themselves is fine, I just don't want the page break
happening
right in between Question and the Answer. (By the way, these are fairly
large paragraphs, averaging ten or more lines apiece.) So I highlight the
last line of the first paragraph through the first line of the second
paragraph, go into paragraph formatting, and select "Keep with next."
Then I
hit "Okay." Boing! It sends the ENTIRE first paragraph onto the next
page,
as if I'd had "Keep Lines Together" selected in the formatting. But I
don't
have it selected! I don't want them kept together! How do I make it stop
when it's already NOT selected??? Widow/Orphan control is on, if that
makes
a difference. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks.
