Keeping Lines Together

Another automation technique is to specify how many lines of text must remain together in a column or page. InDesign does this using the Keep Options controls.

To set the Keep Options for a paragraph:

1.	Choose Keep Options from the Paragraph palette menu. This opens the Keep Options dialog box . The Keep Options dialog box controls how paragraphs break across columns or pages.
2.	Enter a number in the Keep With Next Lines field to force the last line in a paragraph to stay in the same column or page with the specified number of lines. Tip This option ensures that subheads or titles remain in the same column as the body copy that follows.
3.	Click Keep Lines Together and set one of these options : The Keep Lines Together controls of the Keep Options dialog box. All Lines in Paragraph prevents the paragraph from ever breaking. At Start/End of Paragraph lets you set the number of lines that must remain together for the start and the end of the paragraph.
4.	Use the Start Paragraph menu to choose where the lines must jump to . The Start Paragraph list lets you choose where the next lines of the paragraph appear. Anywhere allows the text to jump anywhere. In Next Column forces the text to the next column or page. In Next Frame forces the text to the next frame or page. On Next Page forces the text to the next page. On Next Odd Page forces the text to the next odd-numbered page. On Next Even Page forces the text to the next even-numbered page.
