"keep with next" - conditions where it fails?
Word 2002, Win 2k pro
25 page doc, mostly text. Heading styles are all set to 'keep with next', no other styles do. However- I see a heading 3 at the bottom of a page, apart from the following paragraph, which is a 'List 2' style. Any ideas why that heading isn't on the same page as its following paragraph? I did use Ctrl-space and Ctrl-q to make sure it was the style alone. ??? |

"keep with next" - conditions where it fails?
Sometimes 'Keep with Next' just isn't possible: for example if the style
definitions call for it to be kept with both the preceding paragraph and with the following matter which on its own occupies a full page. "jay m" wrote in message ups.com...

Check to make sure that List 2 isn't also set as KWN; if there are enough of
those paragraphs to (nearly) fill a page, Word will keep chasing its tail to keep them together. Also, I hope I don't have to say that if you have an empty paragraph ("blank line") between the heading and the list, then KWN will not work. -- Suzanne S.

In addition to other responses, if the following paragraph has the "keep together" property and that paragraph would fill an entire page, such that the heading and paragraph will not fit on a single page, you have given Word an impossible combination. Check whether you are having a "keep with..." and "keep together" interaction. Lynn Killingbeck |

Thanks for the suggestions.
I wasn't able to find any of those conditions., though. There were no other "keep with next" styles, and no page-long paragraphs. Oh, well- Windows Happens. The doc does seem to be behaving itself at the moment... cheers Jay |

Did you also look for "Page break before" formatting (on the Line and
Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog box) in the paragraph following the Heading 3 paragraph? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jay m" wrote in message ups.com...

I think so.
Truthfully, I don't even remember what document that was. It is either complete or obselete, I guess. Thanks! Jay |
