Problem

Symptoms: There is a conflict between the Conditional End Of Page (CEOP) and the Widow/Orphan protection codes. The customer wants to use the CEOP code to keep a title together with the first two lines of text in a paragraph. The CEOP code causes the title and the lines of text to stay together when the program encounters a soft page break [SPg], but after the cursor passes the [SPg], the Widow/Orphan protection nullifies the effect of the CEOP.

Another customer is using Conditional End Of Page to keep four lines together. The customer is also using Widow/Orphan. Only the bottom three lines are being kept together when a soft page break is encountered. Solutions: To work around the problem, delete the Widow/Orphan code and the title line and the text will stay together. The problem occurs because, as the user starts to scroll down the document, the CEOP code keeps the title line and text together; however, once the user scrolls down past the soft page break, the Widow/Orphan code decides to override the CEOP code, causing an orphan on the previous page.
