ParagraphStyle keep issue leading to bad breaks

Hi @Shiv Allva, I had a quick play with your demo file and I'm not sure that @Robert at ID-Tasker's suggestion will work—I couldn't get any permutation of keep options to do what you ask. (By the way, your demo file doesn't have properly constructed paragraph styles, eg. there is no body style, so please check that your styles are good in your real document.)

I can only think of two options, neither perfect:

1. Fix these manually (probably the best option in most cases)

2. A script that fixes these by adding a frame- or column-break character at the start of any h1 whose next paragraph has less than 3 lines of h2 (or is it body text?). The script will perform this action once—it won't keep updating if you change the text content or apply the para styles to new text. (I probably have the details wrong here, because there was ambiguity in your demo file, but in theory it should work with whatever rules you need, so long as they can be applied consistently.)

I also have a nagging feeling that there's another way... but I can't think of it.

Replying from my phone so can't check your file - but in order to keep Head1 + Head2 + 2lines of body text together - you need to set KeepWithNext and KeepAllLinesTogether for Head1 AND Head2.
