page length irregularity
I have finished laying out a 113-page book in Word 2002 on a PC. It is
comprised of non-numbered front matter, and 9 chapters page-numbered in the footers. It also has a running book title head on one side, and chapter titles on the other side. My problem is that some of my pages seem to end a line shorter than others. I have checked the formatting-the style is the same throughout; the text is justified left and right; the page numbers are all the same font and size; the gutters are all set to 0". These pages all begin at Line 1. When i try to manually type in the last line, it eventually shifts over to the next page, leaving the preceding page a line short again. Is there something else that could be responsible for my problem? Thanks for any help. |

The issue is widow/orphan control. See

Thank you. I was not familiar with widow/orphan control - this was just what
I needed. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The issue is widow/orphan control. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm -- Suzanne S.
