SECTION 1
Lesson 1.1: Using Delineation Tools

   

 

 

There are some options you can set for page and line breaks. To access these options, click the Format menu and click Paragraph. Then, click the Line and Page Breaks tab. (You can see this dialog on the right.)

 

The first set of options deals with pagination. Let’s look at each checkbox individually:

-          Widow/Orphan control: This will keep your paragraphs together, so one line isn’t stranded at the top or bottom of a page. This is turned on by default.

Keep lines together: Keeps all lines in a paragraph on the same page.

-          Keep with next: Keeps paragraphs of the same style on the same page.

-          Page break before: Inserts a page break before paragraphs with this style.

 

The next two options deal with more specific paragraph formatting:

 

-          Suppress line numbers: Skips line numbers for this section.

-          Don’t hyphenate: Tells Word not to hyphenate paragraphs or words in this section.

 

You can see a preview of your changes in the bottom portion of the window. You can also click the Tabs button to open the Tabs dialog box, click OK to save your changes, or click Cancel to exit without saving your changes.
