Page break in middle of paragraph
I have a long paragraph at the end of a page. On the next page is only the
signature line. How do I move a few lines of the paragraph onto the next page without (1) creating a hard page break, (2) moving the whole paragraph, or (3) adding returns to move the text down? I know how to do the above, but don't want to create anything that would interfere should the page endings change due to editing. |

Page break in middle of paragraph
I've done what I think you mean, but it drops the whole paragraph, leaving
too much space at the end of the previous page to look good. I'm just looking to bring the last 3-4 lines of the paragraph onto the next page. I've tried highlighting the lines I want to put on the next page and clicking "keep with next," but everything I've tried involves the whole paragraph. "Suzanne S.

Page break in middle of paragraph
Thanks for the great advice. I don't want to force the page because, like
you mentioned, it may undergo revisions. I guess I'm spoiled because in another word processing program that I'm more familiar with, under "keeping text together" is a conditional end of page option where I can specify how many lines to keep together at the bottom of that page only without changing any formatting and not affecting other pages. I'm trying to find out if Word has that option. "CyberTaz" wrote: As long as this is a doc that won't be undergoing additional revision & editing, one option is to place your insertion point at the beginning of the line you want to force to the next page, then go to InsertBreak. Choose Next Page in the Section Breaks & click OK. I'm not sure this would be the preferable choice in other similar situations, however  HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 11/19/06 8:35 PM, in article , "AnniePino" wrote: I've done what I think you mean, but it drops the whole paragraph, leaving too much space at the end of the previous page to look good.

Page break in middle of paragraph
In Word, all lines or no lines are kept together, I'm afraid.
I don't think there is much you can do besides splitting the paragraph. If you don't want to use a manual page break, just split the paragraph by pressing Enter at the appropriate location and then format the new paragraph (above the signature line) as "Keep lines together" and "Page break before." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "AnniePino" wrote in message ...

Page break in middle of paragraph
That's what I'm finding out...but hoping for a simplier solution. Thanks for
everyone's help. Now I can stop obsessing over "there has to be a way, it can't be this difficult." This is a great resource!!!!

Page break in middle of paragraph
The "Block Protect" function in WordPerfect is among several that former WP
users often miss in Word. The first time I discovered that "Keep with next" is all or nothing in such situations, I was really amazed that this was by design. -- Suzanne S.

Page break in middle of paragraph
Doesn't the Widow/Orphan control on the Paragraph Line and Page Breaks tab
prevent printing just one line, i.e., your signature on a new page? So how are you creating your signature line? Is it a paragraph by itself? Or is it a part of the previous paragraph using shift-Enter? If it's a paragraph by itself, of course the Widow/Orphan control is not going to work. If it is part of the previous paragraph, I think there's hope. Steve "AnniePino" wrote in message ... I have a long paragraph at the end of a page. On the next page is only the signature line.
