In MS Word, what does the Keep with next paragraph setting do?

  • A.Prevents a page break between the paragraph and the one that follows
  • B.Copies the formatting of the next paragraph
  • C.Merges the paragraph with the next one
  • D.Numbers the two paragraphs together

Answer: A

Correct answer: Prevents a page break between the paragraph and the one that follows

Keep with next prevents a page break falling between a paragraph and the one after it, so the two always appear on the same page. Its classic use is on a heading: without it, a heading can be left stranded at the foot of a page with its text beginning overleaf. The built-in Heading styles have it applied already, which is one more reason to use styles rather than manual formatting. It sits on the Line and Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialogue, alongside three related controls. Keep lines together prevents a single paragraph from splitting across pages. Widow/Orphan control, on by default, stops a single line of a paragraph being stranded at the top or bottom of a page. Page break before forces the paragraph to start a new page - the correct way to begin each chapter, rather than pressing Enter repeatedly. All four solve layout problems that reappear as soon as text above is edited.
