Heading Style Problem
Hello all,
I am constructing a contract. I am using built-in Heading1/2/3 styles in order to cross-reference clauses. I am applying Heading3 style to a whole paragraph. If I put a few empty lines between two Heading3 paragraphs, the later one breaks to a new page. It also happens when I have a few bullets after a Heading3 paragraph. Is it possible to fix this. Or is there a better way to achieve what I am trying to do? The structure is basically a Heading{many subheadings{many numbered paragraphs (which may have bullets)... Thanks for your help |

Heading Style Problem
Headings 1-4 are formatted as "Keep with next." If you're using nothing but
heading styles in the document, then Word can't insert a page break until it finds a non-heading paragraph, so it's seizing the first opportunity. If you're using your headings as an outline rather than headings followed by body text, remove the KWN property from the paragraph style. -- Suzanne S.

Heading Style Problem
Hi
Using the Heading 1, Heading 2 etc styles is a good idea. Each of those, by default, is set with "Keep with next". That means it's set so that Word will always try to keep that paragraph on the same page as the next paragraph. And that's normally what you want for headings. You don't want a page break immediately after a heading. However, it's not clear how you are formatting your text between the headings. Try these three rules: 1. Use Body Text style (formatted with appropriate Space Before and Space After) for all un-bulleted plain ordinary text. It should *not* be set with Keep with Next. 2. Use style List Bullet (Alt-Shift-L) for bullets, again with appropriate Space Before and Space After if required. Again, it should not be set with Keep with Next. 3. Click the ¶ button so you can see all the paragraph marks. Don't leave any empty paragraphs.

Heading Style Problem
The only time this is a problem is when the document primarily consists of
headings and there are few "Body Text" level paragraphs. -- Suzanne S.
