A "widow" is the last line of a paragraph that appears by itself at the top of a page. An "orphan" is the first line of a paragraph that appears by itself at the bottom of a page. Both of these are considered to be bad typography. When you check the Widow/Orphan Control option in the Format Paragraph dialog or in the paragraph settings of a style, Word will prevent any orphan or widow by placing at least two lines of the paragraph together on each page when an automatic page break occurs in that paragraph. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
