Hi,

Is there any solution to automatically apply No Break only on last word on page?

    In the Hyphenation panel, you can uncheck (untick) Hyphenate Last Word and Hyphenate Across Column and make this part of your Paragraph style.

    Across Column includes Across Page. Would this work for you?

    I think that may actually solve their problem...I was so focused on the "use GREP to find the last word on a page" part that I didn't step back and think about what was really needed.

    No, you can't find the last word on a page...unless it is also the last word in a story each time. You might be able to script that, though...you might check the scripting forums.
