Default Can I "group" my titles with their content dynamically?

Hi guys,



Did a search, didn't see much, so thought I'd go ahead and ask. First time poster, so please be gentle

In MS Word Mac 2011, is there a way to make titles "stick to" their content? I find that I'll frequently run into situations where a section title will be all alone on Page 01 (for instance), and the section content will have wrapped over to Page 02. Ideally, if a section title had (say) less than 3 lines following it, it would auto-jump to the next page. I don't want to put in page breaks, because if I add content before the section, the formatting gets screwed up.

Many thanks in advance..I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I don't know the answer :P

Note: Section breaks also won't work because they have the same problem; they're not dynamic. Also, if my sections are shorter than exactly one page each, then I end up with tonnes of blank space in my document.

Hi macdonaldhall,

If you format the heading paragraphs (preferably via the Heading Styles) with the 'keep together' and 'keep with next' attributes, they should move to the next page if there's insufficient room for at least two lines of the following paragraphs (assuming they're using widow/orphan control - which you can also apply via Styles).
