Keeping Paragraphs on the Same Page

Summary: The tool to keep your paragraphs formatted to stay on the same page. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

For some types of documents you may not want your paragraphs to smoothly flow from one page to the next. Instead, you may want to make sure that any given paragraph appears all on one page or another. I require this type of formatting quite often in letters, legal documents, and proposals.

Word includes a formatting feature that allows you to ensure that paragraphs stay together without a page break in the middle of them. You apply this format characteristic by following these steps:

  1. Select the paragraph or paragraphs you want affected by the formatting change. (If you want the change to a single paragraph only, you can simply make sure the insertion point is within that paragraph.)
  2. Choose Paragraph from the Format menu. Word displays the Paragraph dialog box.
  3. Make sure the Line and Page Breaks tab (Word 97 or later) or the Text Flow tab (Word 6 or Word 95) is selected.
  4. Make sure the Keep Lines Together check box is selected.
  5. Click on OK.

Tip #1433 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 6 | 95 | 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
