I expected that an answer would not be simple About 20 years ago I wrote a module in Pascal that kept a line count for each page and forced a new page if a paragraph break or a new heading came within a selectable distance from the bottom. This partly solved the issue, but not completely. Thanks

I have a widow line: the last line of a paragraph that is the first line on the following page; it's actually the last line of the report chapter, which makes it look worse. I _thought_ there was a macro to extend the page, but I cannot find a reference to it. Nothing in TLC2 that helps. Goog
