Creating an FM9 Style to Apply Forced Page Breaks

[Alison Craig]

I already use this method (for almost any kind of heading) - and I have widow/Orphan control set to a more than just a couple of lines - but it doesn't cover all situations.

Thanks, Alison

If you need to insert these breaks in running text for aesthetic reasons (i.e., 
you don't want to have a heading and three lines of body text, followed by a 
page break), consider using the "Keep With Next Paragraph" exception in the 
paragraph definition. This is no more effort than inserting a dummy paragraph to 
force the page break, and has the benefit of lower maintenance -- If the 
upstream formatting changes, you stand a much better chance of the break falling 
in a logical/aesthetic fashion than if you force a break (either with a P-tag 
exception or by inserting a dummy paragraph). Once either paragraph crosses the 
page boundary, the break is redrawn in a way that looks good. I believe it is 
also possible to program this behavior into your body text definition's 
Widow/Orphan Lines control, but I have not investigated this.
