Captions from Transcript. Mr. Ms. causing page breaks.

I suggest you add some captioning decisions that say, don't end a sentence break with Mr. or Ms., where periods occur that are not the end of the sentence. Seems you could say, ignore periods (.) for 2 or 3 charactor short or no vowels words so they don't cause page breaks.

 

It would also be good to not allow one word captions.

    I'd like to attach my transcript here, but cannot. After I made the captions, all the Mr. or Ms. instances caused breaks.

     

    Also, balancing 2 line captions would be a big bonus. One long line and one short is not good. 

     

    Thanks, Jim

    Upvoted. It would help for you to provide one or more sample transcript segments that produce this. I can replicate, but without the context of a sentence that is created from audio, it will not be as helpful to the programmers.
