I am writing a book.
How do i make sure that paragraphs break between pages rather than move entirely to the next page while leaving a large space at the end of the previous page?
The setting used to be called Widow and Orphan control, now it it just Split options.
Assuming that you are using Body Text as you main paragraph style, right click Body Text in the Paragraph Styles pane in the Sidebar. Select Edit style > Text Flow under Split Options tick Allow to split paragraph and then work out if you will allow
- a single line of a new paragraph on the preceding page (Orphan) or if you want a minimum of two lines (default setting) or more than that
- A single final line of a paragraph on a new page (Widow) or if you want a minimum of two lines or more on the new page

Thanks, this did what I wanted it to do; although I will add that I needed to allow split but turn off the other 2 options under allow split to get it to work like how i wanted.
