Default Widow and orphan control not working

Was the "blank line" created by pressing Enter twice? If so, "Keep with
next" applies to the blank line, which is in fact a blank paragraph. You can
apply "Keep with next" to both of the two paragraphs, but a better solution
is to stop pressing Enter twice and instead add some Spacing Before to the
relevant paragraph (style).

We have documents that have the last line of a paragraph appearing on a
succeeding page. This is followed a blank line and then the next
paragraph.
Thanks again for the help.

Hello,

I have the box checked for widow and orphan control but it is not
working.
Several secretaries and paralegals have tried it and they can't get it
to
work either. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.
