So I know I should use Styles and avoid using Insert Page Break. Of course heaven-forbid just entering Return-Return-Return to push something to the next page.
But here is my problem:
I want section 6.2 to start on a new page, but not section 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 ext. The reason is because section 6.1 is always about 80% of the page and 6.2 is always starting right on the bottom of the page.


If I redefine the header style for 6.2, then all of the other headers (6.3, 6.4, 6.5 ) also get the same style.
Can I redefine just 6.2 to start on new page but not 6.3, 6.4?
Or even better, could I define a heading to start on a new page if it is more than 80 % down the page? That would be really cool.

First, "Section" is a jargon term in Word that has very little to do with what you need.
Sections / Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word 2007-2013

See Formatting applied to one paragraph affects the entire document. That explains what is happening and how to fix it.

Hmmm, Actually I do want the change to affect the entire document. I want to avoid making formatting changes manually and make all my formatting changes directly to the style (that's good practice isn't it?).

I'll try and add some detail and proper terminology to my question.

I have a style Heading 2 that is applied to all headings with 2 numbers (1.1, 1.2, 3.4 4.2 etc...)
I want all of the x.2 headings to start on a new page (1.2, 2.2, 3.2, 4.2, etc. throughout the entire document) because in this document the x.2 section is always starting very near the bottom of the page. But if I change the Heading 2 style to start on new page then it changes not only all of my x.2 headings (which I want to change through the entire document) but also the x.1 and x.3, x.4 headings will change to start on new page (which I don't want)
So, how can I do a style change (not manual change to the format) that will make all x.2 headings (1.2, 2.2, 3.2, ... 15.2) start on a new page while leaving x.3, x.4 x.5 not starting on a new page.
Can I have a different style for x.2 headings than the current Heading 2 style? Will the numbering keep going in order if the headings are in different styles?
Can I change my heading 2 style so that it will start on a new page when it is beginning near the bottom of a page (but no need to start on new page when starting near middle or top of a page). Maybe by having the heading keep together with the following paragraph or something?

Thanks,
Drew

Sorry. You cannot do this through styles because x.2, x.3, and x.4 all use the same style. You cannot have two level 2 styles in a numbering scheme.

Thanks, that's good to know.
How about a way to make a heading not start too near the bottom of a page? Like, a heading will not start within 2 inches from the bottom of the page but instead will start on the next page in that case?
I am just trying use best practices and avoid putting in manual page breaks, but can't find a "style" way to do this.
Thanks!
