How do I remove Widow and Orphan control?
In the Line and Page Break box the Widow/Orphan contol comes ticked as the default position. Surely there should be two boxes? One for widows, another for orphans, so that if neither are wanted both could have the tick deleted. Removing the tick at present does not reset the default position. If you are writing text, for example a novel, you need the same number of lines on every page. Although the idea behind Widow and Orphans is a smart one, and has its place in report writing where paragraphs need to be kept intact, it is extremely irritating for any other appplication. If you are using double spacing and a bottom line is dropped, two sometimes , it looks as if half the page is blank. So how do I remove Widow and Orphan control? |

How do I remove Widow and Orphan control?
You clear the tick box. If you don't want it enabled for any style, clear it
for Normal style, and it should be cleared for all the styles based on Normal (which is most of them). If you want this to apply to all new documents, clear it in Normal style and check the box for "Save to template." -- Suzanne S.
