Stick Things Together in Word

This is a feature that I wish Excel had too. If you want to keep two or more paragraphs together on the same page, you can change the formatting options in Word.

To keep two paragraphs together:

  1. Select any paragraph that you want to keep with the paragraph that follows it. For example, click in a heading paragraph, to keep it with the descriptive paragraph below it.
  2. On the Format menu, click on Paragraph
  3. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab
  4. Add a check mark to Keep With Next
  5. Click OK

To keep a paragraph from splitting over two pages:

  1. Click in the paragraph, or select several paragraphs
  2. On the Format menu, click on Paragraph
  3. Go to the Line and Page Breaks tab
  4. Add a check mark to Keep Lines Together
  5. Click OK
