Dear all
I have created a paragraph style that utilises bullets, so it has in indent. For some reason, the last line of the applied style, jumps ahead to the next page. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Look into the keep options of the next paragraph. Is "keep with previous" applied there?

Apart from the other keep Options, you're missing the important one: If you don't want the bullet items to split, the Keep option you want is to Keep Lines Together; either ALL if you don't want your bullets to split at all, or At Start/End if you want some oprhan/widow control. As your bullet items are short, I'd go with ALL.

Hi @Emma32228619h27m:

 

It's most likely an issue with your keeps settings. Either the bullets are set to keep with the next paragraph, or the paragraph that says countertop is set to keep with the previous paragraph. 

 

Click on that last bullet and take a look at the settings in Window > Type & Tables > Paragraph > panel menu > Keep Options. 

 

And if necessary, check the countertop para also, though I expect it is the bullet paragraph that needs to be updated. Once fixed, right click the bullet style > redefine style.

Are you sure about the keep options of the NEXT paragraph. As you do not show us non-printing characters I am not sure what the next paragraph is as it could with multiple returns be an empty paragraph.
