= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 4.0, if you use the Keep With Next Paragraph option in the Paragraph dialog box, a paragraph may not stay with the following paragraph for one of three reasons:

An automatic page break occurs between the two paragraphs and the following paragraph was positioned using the Position command. To work around this problem, you must format both paragraphs as positioned. This keeps the paragraphs together, but requires that they always be adjacent to each other.

-or-

A manual page break occurs between the two paragraphs. To work around this problem, you must remove the manual page break. Adding a manual page break between two paragraphs that are intended to stay together is not usually recommended.

-or-

If a paragraph containing hidden text follows the “keep with next” paragraph, the Keep With Next Paragraph option is applied to the hidden text paragraph rather than the next plain text paragraph.

If a paragraph (or other object) is positioned, that position formatting overrides the Keep With Next Paragraph option; therefore, if a page break falls between the positioned paragraph and the preceding paragraph, they are placed on separate pages despite the Keep With Next Paragraph option.
