Adjust other pagination options

The Advanced section of the Paragraph settings panel contains three more pagination options. Swipe up to see them:

  • Orphan control - is turned on by default and used to prevent a single line of the paragraph (the first or last) from appearing at the top or bottom of the page.
  • Keep lines together - is used to keep lines together so that only whole paragraphs will be moved to the new page (i.e. there will be no page break between the lines within a single paragraph).
  • Keep with next - is used to prevent a page break between the selected paragraph and the next one.
