Default Widow Orphan Control in Text Boxes

This could perhaps be accomplished by a REF or STYLEREF field in the header
that picks up merge data in the document body. Alternatively, can you insert
the logo as a wrapped object or in a frame anchored to the body text but
placed in the header area?

I cannot put the logo in the header because it is a merge document that

links
a logo for a variety of companies. The link does not resolve if it is in a
header.

Unless you're doing something extremely odd with this document, you

should
be putting your logo in the header and the page number in the footer and

the
rest of the text in the document body--no need for text boxes.

The text needs to flow from one page to the next - in some cases these

forms
are 19 pages long. They are policy endorsements that need to have a

link
to
an issuing company logo at the top and page number footers at the

bottom.
The
endorsements are frequently modified and this is the easiest way to

make
sure
text is not lost in cutting and pasting to a new page.

*Why* do you need to use text boxes for this? It sounds a dreadful

idea.
Frames or tables might work better for you - at least they are in

the
text
layer of the document.

I have several lengthy documents that need to be set up in text
boxes. I cannot figure out how to control the widow/orphan

function
in these text boxes. The feature is checked, but I still end up
having widow and orphans in my documents. Any ideas? Thanks, PMS
