Widow and Orphan control is locked
After some research it seems my problem of paragraph splitting is due to orphan and widow control being set at 2. It is not greyed out. The other boxes under the Text Flow/Options are not checked either. I have tried multiple variations of checking them and unchecking them, but nothing works. As for Orphan and Widow control, when I click on the check mark and try to reduce it to 1, it will not work. It will go up past 2, but not under it. This problem is so stupid. How do I fix it to save space and make everything look normal? I downloaded LibreOffice four months ago, so it is probably a pretty recent edition.
