Application example: If you enable Keep with next for a header, you can avoid
the situation in which a heading would fall at the end of a page, and the text belonging
to it would begin on the following page.
Keep together
Enabling this option prevents TextMaker from inserting a page break in the
middle of the paragraph. Instead, TextMaker puts the automatic page break before
the paragraph, so that all of it falls on the next page.
Avoid widows/orphans
This option prevents paragraphs from being broken in such a way that so-called
widows or orphans would result. A widow or orphan is a single line of a paragraph
that has been separated by a page break from all the other lines of the
paragraph. Widows and orphans are not especially pleasant to the eye and interfere
with the reading of a longer document.
If you enable this option, pagination is performed in such a way that a paragraph
is not broken where the break would leave fewer than two of its lines on
a given page. If a paragraph cannot be broken in this way – for example because
it has only two lines – the entire paragraph is placed on the next page.
Non-breaking spaces
In certain cases, it is necessary to keep two words that are separated by a white
space character on the same line. TextMaker knows nothing about this, and possibly
puts the words on separate lines when it automatically inserts line breaks.
An example: You want all the parts of the expression “USD 29.80” to remain
together and unbroken whenever it is printed. You can ensure this by inserting a socalled
non-breaking space or protected space between “USD” and “29.80”. To
insert such a space, press the key combination (Ctrl)(Shiftª)(Space) instead of the
space bar alone.
When printed, the non-breaking space looks exactly like a normal space. It differs
only in directing TextMaker to ensure that the designated words are not separated
on two lines.
