Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008page breaks
Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel I want to keep new headings within a document with the text that follows. In other words, i do not want a page break after a new heading. Okay. You need to make sure there is not a empty paragraph after your heading, say, if you hit enter twice or anything to give the heading some space. Don't do that. Instead, you should apply the style Heading 1 to a heading, and Heading 1 automatically incoporates the "keep with next" command. If you don't like how Heading 1 looks, that's fine. Apply it anyhow. Then go to Format | Style, and Modify the definition of Heading 1 to fit your taste. Be sure to check the "add to template" box if you want to change the look of Heading 1 for all documents in the future. The manual approach would be to use Format | Paragraph to apply "keep with next". But empty paragraphs caused by hitting enter multiple times may still cause problems, as it will just keep it with the empty paragraph that is actually next. > Version: 2004 > Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) > Processor: intel > > I want to keep new headings within a document with the text that follows. In other words, i do not want a page break after a new heading. You can save a huge amount of time preparing documents longer than a memo by following the principles underlying Daiya's answer. Take a look at the article 'Styles and templates -- the keys to consistency and saving time' starting on page 89 of some notes on the way I use Word for the Mac, titled "Bend Word to Your Will", which are available as a free download from the Word MVPs' website (http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html). [Note: "Bend Word to your will" is designed to be used electronically and most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.] Cheers, Clive Huggan Canberra, Australia (My time zone is 5-11 hours different from the Americas and Europe, so my follow-on responses to those regions can be delayed) ==================================================== On 22/5/08 2:24 AM, in article uupNc81uIHA.3604@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl, "Daiya Mitchell" <daiyaNOSPAM@mvps.org.INVALID> wrote: > Okay.
