There is room in my bounding box, yet the sentence keeps breaking to the next page

SOS! Keep options turned off in the entire doc and the last question on each page keeps breaking. Even though these are separate paragraphs, they stay together when I reduce the space in each paragraph style. I want the questions to stay together... see my example below. The paragraph spacing for "after" is only set to 0.75" and I have no idea why it won't continue the one word when there is still ample space available.

Any ideas of what else I should check other than "keep options"?

These problems almost always come down to keep options... but those are set on a paragraph style basis, not 'for the entire doc.' (Just making sure you understand that.)

 

Select all these styles and make sure that none of the boxes are ticked at the top of the Keep Options menu. It's tricky, as the line "Keep with Next X Lines" is NOT controlled by the check box above. Be sure it's set to 0.

    YOU ROCK!

    That totally worked. I meant that I had changed the paragraph styles I was using in the entire doc - and I thought that because I didn't have "keep with previous" checked, the number in the box (that you have kindly circled) was irrelevant. Silly me!

    I truly appreciate you taking the time to answer this - you have revolutionized my typesetting on this project!

    It's a very common problem, encountered at least weekly here in the forum. Happy to have passed along the secret. 🙂
