Thank you Michael! I found the Widow and Orphan options, however even with the options checked and configured for 2 lines, the document still has Widows and Orphans of one line each. Furthermore, when applied to a document with two columns (which the document in question needs to be) whenever I press OK and reopen Format -> Paragraphs -> Text flow the "Do not split paragraph" is rechecked and the Widow and Orphan control boxen are empty. This in on OOo 3.1 on Kubuntu 9.10.
