Default Unwanted page breaks in numbered list

I believe you wrote what I *meant* to write. :-)

Heading 4 is KWN also. If there's nothing in a doc but Headings 1-4, Word
will break pages between the headings as needed, but if a paragraph that
is
*not* KWN intervenes, then Word will break the page after it, possibly
leaving a good bit of the page blank.

This is why it's advisable, in creating "outline" documents, to either (a)
use List Number styles instead of Heading styles or (b) remove the KWN
formatting from at least Headings 3 and 4 (and possibly Heading 2 as well,
depending on the outline).

Is this an outline-numbered list created with headings? If so, note that
Heading 1--Heading 3 have "Keep with next" applied by default, which is
usually a good thing, but in a list with no "intervening" text that would
cause trouble with page breaks, because Word has to start a new page
somewhere. To avoid undesired page breaks, remove the attribute from the
heading styles.

I have a numbered list that keeps putting in page breaks where I don't
want
them. For example: level 4 (marked with a, b, c, ...) will not break
apart.
If all of it doesn't fit on one page, it puts in a break and starts a
new
page. How do I get it to stop doing that?
