Re: MSWord problem -- Resent?

[Valerie Archambeau <varchamb -at- MIDWAY -dot- UCHICAGO -dot- EDU>]

(This message was rejected by the Listserv as a double posting--wrongly, I
think.  I sent it early this morning and have not yet received it via the
list.  I am therefore resending it.  My apologies if this posting shows up
twice.)

Margaret:

I'm not sure what your "next line" is (new paragraph? heading? same
paragraph?) so my suggestions will be a little broad.  (These are
instructions for Mac MS Word 5.1a, but the functions should be similar).

Check your settings within the "Paragraph" menu.  The pagination controls
("Page Break Before," "Keep with Next," and "Keep Lines Together") may be
causing the problem.  On the other hand, they may be the solution to your
problem.

You may also want to check the "Spacing" for the next line and adjust if
necessary.

I hope this helps,

Valerie
