For some types of documents you may not want your paragraphs to
smoothly flow from one page to the next. Instead, you may want to make
sure that any given paragraph appears all on one page or another. I
require this type of formatting quite often in letters, legal
documents, and proposals.

Word includes a formatting feature that allows you to ensure that
paragraphs stay together without a page break in the middle of them.
You apply this format characteristic by following these steps:

1. Select the paragraph or paragraphs you want affected by the
formatting change. (If you want the change to a single paragraph
only, you can simply make sure the insertion point is within
that paragraph.)
2. Choose Paragraph from the Format menu. Word displays the
Paragraph dialog box.
3. Make sure the Line and Page Breaks tab is selected.
4. Make sure the Keep Lines Together check box is selected.
5. Click on OK.
