I am working on a VERY large document (more than 3 million words). In it, I have created a style to apply to various paragraphs, where it is indented both left and right, has a border and background shading, and a unique font/style.
An example of such an entry (made up gibberish just to show the overall style) is: --- Name: John Doe Status: Healthy Age: 24 years Credit Rating: Fair (680) Vehicle Preference: Minivans Favorite Color: Plaid Goals: John Doe would like to increase his credit rating to Good so that he and his family can afford a new home, as well as a pair of new minivans. He and his wife would like to start a new family, and have a history of twins on both sides. --- I would like to prevent any such styled consecutive 'paragraphs' (most are a single line long), whether it is 2 or 10 of them, from breaking across pages - moving the whole section to the next page if necessary to prevent it. I tried setting the options, "Keep Lines together" and "Keep with Next" - but those seem to have no effect. So what mistake am I making? What should I add to the paragraph style to keep them all together? ~ I also had a thought that with the way I am styling them, a text box may work as good or better. But I don't know if it would be simple to convert hundreds, possibly thousands, of such paragraphs through the document into text boxes. I know I already basically mimicked a text box appearance with the style I made. But it was super simple to do a find/replace on certain key words and apply the style to the majority of paragraphs that needed it, and not too difficult to just manually apply the style to the rest using a keyboard shortcut as I read through the document. I think even if I set up a text box template, it would be a TON more work to convert them all to text boxes...? Also, I am not sure if it would be any easier to prevent said text boxes from breaking across pages? |
