Did you also look for "Page break before" formatting (on the Line and
Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog box) in the paragraph
following the Heading 3 paragraph?

25 page doc, mostly text.
Heading styles are all set to 'keep with next', no other styles do.

However- I see a heading 3 at the bottom of a page, apart from the
following paragraph, which is a 'List 2' style.

Any ideas why that heading isn't on the same page as its following
paragraph?
I did use Ctrl-space and Ctrl-q to make sure it was the style alone.
