Tip: #13 Take better control of your paragraphs and phrases.
Have you ever had your collaborator or editor jumble up your paragraph alignment after you move onto the next page or sentence? This would mean that even after you finish drafting your work, you'd have to spend time manually aligning and adjusting your content again. Imagine messing up all your work because of simple alignment issues.
Frustrating, isn't it?
From keeping lines from breaking across pages to controlling orphan phrases, Line and Page Break options in Writer let you align your paragraphs as you type—in a jiffy.
Here are four ways Writer can help you structure your paragraphs easily:
1. Widow and Orphan control
Say you're typing a new paragraph from the bottom of the page. As you type more words, the paragraph becomes too long and spills on to the next page, leaving either the first or last phrase of the paragraph on a different page.
This first and last phrase that's separated from the rest of the paragraph are called Widow and Orphan phrases respectively. Since this breaks the flow of what you're trying to convey and tends to distract the reader, it's advisable to avoid such phrases.
By enabling the Widow/Orphan control, you can easily prevent this from happening.
1. Go to More Options(☰) > Format > Paragraph > More > Line & Page Break.
2. Now check the Enable Widow/Orphan Control
2. Keep Lines Together
As the name suggests, the Keep Lines Together option keeps lines in a paragraph intact, preventing them from breaking across pages. Having one half of a paragraph on one page and other half on another page would certainly look bad and should be avoided.
With the Keep Lines Together option enabled, when paragraphs don't fit in the current page, it moves the entire paragraph onto the next page.
1. Go to More Options (☰)> Format > Paragraph > More > Line & Page Break.
2. Now check the Keep Lines Together option.
With this option enabled, whenever your paragraphs flow onto the next page, Writer makes sure that your entire paragraph (from the first phrase to the last) also move to the next page—leaving no space for orphan or widow phrases.
3. Page Break Before
This option inserts a page break before paragraphs. Say you're working on a book, and since it's written chapter-wise, you'd always want to start new chapters on a new page (giving your readers a small break, too!).The Page Break Before option can be used in such cases.
1. Go to More Options (☰) > Format > Paragraph > More > Line & Page Break.
2. Now check the
Page Break Before option.
4. Keep with Next
Have you ever been in a situation where headings keep slipping to a different page as you add more text to the paragraph above or below it? You can link headings to the text below by asking Writer to Keep With Next. When a paragraph doesn't fit in the current page, this option will move the heading and paragraph as one unit on to the next page—making sure that headings and their associated paragraphs always stay intact.
1. Go to More Options (☰) > Format > Paragraph > More > Line & Page Break.
2. Now check the Keep With Next option.
Happy writing!
