Hi Friends!
Can someone point me a any good, detailed tutorials about the keep options, orphans and widows etc.
My doc looks terrible from a vertical point of view breaking paragraphs in the middle of pages and leaving a large white space at the bottom of the page etc.
thank you

Keep with next only for healines and intructionsl paragraphs.
Normal paragraphs keep 2 or 3 lines together at the beginning and end.
Headlines keep all together.
Keep with previous I use only for the first and second pRagraph of lists.
Never use multiple returns to create space between paragraphs, NEVER!

Thank you for that easy and fast tutorial.

So maybe you have an idea why i have these gigantic gaps bewtween the end of the text area nad the beginning of the footnote area? I have tried adjusting the FN layout setings and have not accomplished really anything. Extremely frustrating....
