Re: Disappearing "Orphans" (STYLE Question)

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Two questions:

1. Are you saying that you are pressing Enter to create a new line (to
Word, this actually creates a new paragraph)?

2. Are you pressing Enter multiple times to create spacing around
paragraphs?

As Stefan points out, you may need "Keep lines together" as well,
but note
that you can't apply both these formats to every paragraph in the
document,
or it all becomes a single unbreakable block (which may be part of
the
current problem).

Note, however, that what you really need is more than a single
style. You
need a style for the characters' names, a style for the dialog, a
style for
stage directions, etc. The style for characters' names should
definitely be
formatted as "Keep with next," and you might want to format the
dialog as
"Keep lines together." See
alsohttp://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BottomLine.htm.

Thanks to both you and Mr. Blom. I don't think I've made myself
clear, however. What I'm asking is Why, if I have created a new Style
to be applied to a New Blank Document (WORD 2000), the Keep with Next
checked box loses its "check" as soon as I leave the first line of the
New Blank Document. Is there some command within the Format/Style
hierarchy I should be giving to the new Style that (apparently) I'm
not?
