[Wandering Wil]

Hello everyone

i'm formatting my book (novel type). It's just plain text, and i would like the pages to be "square and even", that is, every page should have the same number of lines.

For that purpose i unchecked widow/orphan control, because i find the occasional missing line at the bottom of the page very annoying (much more than widow or orphans).

Problem is: Word is still randomly skipping lines at the bottom, even if there is no special (or understandable) reason, like in the picture attached. As you can see, the paragraph is very long, no widow/orphan risk, and plenty of space for a line on page 16 (top-right). Why is it skipping the last line?

Any idea how to solve this?

EDIT: for some reason, it seems connected to hyphenation. If i deactivate hyphenation, it fills pages regularly.
