Word should have a "Keep with Previous" option
Currently Word has a "Keep with Next" option in paragraph settings. This is
fine if your document has a few headers with lots of paragraphs and you want to make sure that the first paragraph stays with the heading. You set the "Keep with Next" option for the heading style and all is good. But what if your document has lots of headings with just a few paragraphs under each one and you want all of the section to be together on a page. In other words, the heading and all the pragraphs to be on one page (if it fits). Doing this with the "Keep with Next" option is a real pain. You have to have the setting on for all your paragraphs except the last one in a sections. this mean having a seperate style for your "last" paragrash and you have to change the style for those paragraphs and make sure your other paragraphs are not set this is special style. Not a very intuitive or user-friendly soution. A "Keep with Previous" would solve the problem. This option would be on for your "Normal" styles and off for your "Heading" styles. I know I've seen this posted before around the web but I wanted to put the request in one more time. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word should have a "Keep with Previous" option
I have a multi-level list which sometimes has the lowest level (level 4) and
sometimes does not. I never want level 4 to begin a page. If the Level 3 "Keep with Next" option is set to Yes, there will be cases where Level 3 will stick to a following level 3 (which I don't want). "Keep with Previous" on the Level 4 style would solve this, but since this feature doesn't exist is there a simple workaround? Thanks! Dan "Terry Farrell" wrote: That's a ludicrous idea. It takes just a few seconds to select all the paragraphs (including the Heading) and chose Format, Paragraph, Keep with Next. If that is too much work for you, add the Keep with Next (KwN) command button to a toolbar. Alternatively - and the correct way - is to create styles, one for the Heading and another for Body Text (both with the KwN attribute) and a third style Body Text 2 without the KwN attribute. Assign the styles with keyboard shortcuts as needed. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Golden Snitch" Golden wrote in message ... Currently Word has a "Keep with Next" option in paragraph settings.

Word should have a "Keep with Previous" option
I'm afraid the only available workaround is what Terry has already
suggested: applying "Keep with next" as direct formatting. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Dan Nelson" Dan wrote in message ...

Word should have a "Keep with Previous" option
I had hoped to avoid managing the paragraphs manually since content is always changing (one day a paragraph is at the end of the page and the day it's in the middle), but I appreciate you responding!
