I don't understand that either, or the separator lines. But more
fundamentally, if FM is putting in a page break, it's because the entire
proof (all the "keep with next" paragraphs plus whatever follows the
last) *won't fit on one page*. Nothing you do with Keep With and
Widow/Orphan settings will change that. 

If you want to avoid a page break, change the pgfs' space above/below,
the line spacing, the anchored frame -- or, heck, change the height of
the text frame. IOW, do something to make it all fit on one page, and FM
won't try to break it across pages. 

HTH!
