= SUMMARY =

When using the OUTLINE.STY style sheet that is included with Microsoft Word versions 5.00 and 5.50, page breaks may occur before the end of the page. This is because the first three styles (Heading Levels 1, 2, and 3) set the Format Paragraph “keep follow:” field to Yes in Word 5.00, and in Word 5.50, the styles activate the Format Paragraph “Keep Paragraph With Next” check box.

If the “keep follow” (“Keep Paragraph With Next” in Word 5.50) attribute is applied to a paragraph and the first two lines of the following paragraph do not fit at the bottom of the page, then the last two lines of the first paragraph will be printed on the next page.
