Preventing Straggling Heads in Word

Source: WordTips by DCI

There are certain paragraphs that naturally belong with another
paragraph. For instance, section headings belong with the paragraphs
that follow them; a signature line belongs with the explanation line
that may be after it; a figure belongs with the caption that may
follow it. Word makes it easy to keep certain paragraph pairings
together. To format paragraphs so they stay together, use the
following steps:

1. Position the insertion point in the first paragraph of the pair
you want to keep together.
2. Select the Paragraph option from the Format menu. You will see
the Paragraph dialog box.
3. Click on the Line and Page Breaks tab.
4. Make sure the Keep with Next check box is selected.
5. Click on OK.
