Quark 5 - PC - widows/orphans

[Cowtoon]

Is there a way to prevent widows and orphans. For those of you who don't know what this means (it's a word processing term). It's a feature that preventsa single line of text from flowing onto the next page i.e., it will force say 2 or 3 lines, instead (depending on how it's set). I have a couple of instances where I have this happening in my Quark document. I don't want 4 words of a long paragraph to push onto the next page.

Is this an option in Quark. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure of any auto way of doing it. I do slight very minimal adjustments to the leading and kerning and that takes care of it and no one can even tell . It takes a VERY small adjustment if you are just trying to pull up a few words from spilling over.

I agree, however, I'd be in trouble if this happened on more than one page and one setting change didn't fix all instances of this happening. If it was only a 1 page layout, I'd have done that ... for sure - without even asking (hahaha).

I'm surprised this isn't an option - after all it's layout software, right .... lol. Thanks d-zine.

Found it. Edit the style, under format ... keep lines together ... that's where you can specify the number of lines that can be left alone at the start or at the end of the paragraph. Yeehawww.....
