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.
