You can control how page breaks affect paragraphs and lines. In the procedures below, the option "Keep lines together" prevents a page break from occurring within a paragraph, and the option "Keep with next" prevents a page break from occurring between two selected paragraphs. By using these options instead of inserting a manual page break, your page-break choices are preserved even if you add or remove text that causes the page breaks to change.
