Widow Control Not Working Properly in Word 4.0
Last reviewed: July 30, 1997

Article ID: Q57336

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word, if there is an absolutely positioned object at the bottom of a page, the Widow Control option in the Document dialog box found under the Format menu will not prevent a widow (single line of a paragraph on a page) from appearing at the top of the next page. For example, if text is wrapping to the sides of a graphic at the bottom of a page, widow control will not function correctly on the following page. The page break doesn't show in galley view but the page breaks in Print Preview.
