It's also the easiest way to keep a table all on one page. Select (by
click-&-dragging) all but the last row (of your table or your list)
and hit the button on the QAT. Unfortunately it's one of the buttons
that drags a really long name with it that you can't edit.

Dear grammatim,

You're an absolute legend, thank you! I spent many long hours inside on a
sunny Saturday afternoon in Scotland trying to figure this out, and it didn't
seem to be on ANY website or forum. Of course, it seems crushingly obvious in
retrospect, but I would never have thought to do it myself. I'm eternally
grateful - thanks again!

Yours sincerely,

Mark each paragraph in your list-groups except the last one "Keep with
Next." If each of the lines has a different paragraph style -- ot, if
the last line of each set has a different paragraph style from the
other lines in the list -- you can make it part of the Style for each
paragraph except that last item in the list.

You find "Keep with Next" on the second tab of the Format Paragraph
panel. You can add that command to your QAT.

Hi everyone,

I am working on my doctoral thesis in Word 2007, and I have an appendix
where I need to display names with some characteristics, for example:

JOHN SMITH
- 48 years old.
- Married.
- Two children.

I need to make sure that these multi-level lists stay on the same page, or
move onto the next page if they don't have enough space. My current problem
is that I cannot find a way to do this, and so I constantly have this problem:

JOHN SMITH
- 48 years old.
====end of page====
- Married.
- Two children.

Is there any elegant way that I can force this sort of list onto the next
page if it doesn't have enough space? I've been playing with widow/orphan
controls and trying to keep lines together, but this is driving me insane!

It's possible that lists simply cannot do what I want, in which case I would
value any suggestions (maybe using a table?).

Thanks in advance for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you!
