EkJohnson Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 I'm having a problem with paragraphs being split or moved to the following page when there's still ample room left on the previous page. For reference the content was created in Mac OS Pages, exported as a .docx and then File>Placed into a text frame to flow through the document. Adjusting the baseline seemed to help a bit but there are still oddly split paragraphs and all my tinkering and Googling is getting me nowhere. Thank in advance Obi Wan...
walt.farrell Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 It's probably due to your Flow options. Preventing orphaned first lines and widowed last lines can have surprising effects like that. Also the Keep With Next setting will have effects like that.

EkJohnson Posted September 21, 2023 Author Posted September 21, 2023 Ah! It was the Keep with Next that was tripping me up. Thank you so much!

Your text has a lot of three line paragraphs which will play havoc with Widows and Orphans. And just a suggestion, get rid of the double paragraph returns used for spacing the paragraphs. Use Space Before and or Space After in the Paragraph Style definition. walt.farrell, EkJohnson and Oufti 3 Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

EkJohnson Posted September 25, 2023 Author Posted September 25, 2023 heh, I guess I do tend to write short paragraphs. Thanks though for the tip about space before/after, that works really nicely! So much to learn...
