Default "Keep with Next" and/or "Keep Lines Together" not working

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.
