then try \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000 \brokenpenalty 0 Any change? TeX's paragraph/page breaking is a highly complex thing, there are lots of parameters to play with. For a complete refrerence you'll probably need Knuth's original TeX book. But with these three penalites above, you should be able to solve the problem. > ... surprisingly it seemed to affect also the footnote problem. > There is also only one case left. Are those two somehow related? This is beyond my knowledge, but here is a guess: These are related, but only very deep down inside. So for most practical cases, these two are different things.
