I'm sorry, oh-widow-and-orphan obsessives, but the widows and orphans were invisible. Greetings, I have followed the documentation for Libre Office Text on page 92 exactly as shown, and tried everything else I can by searching the forum and looking at the different options for Text Flow and Styles, and for the life of me, I do not see an option for Widows and Orphans control that works for a Mac (v. It's not moving ONE damn line, it's moving paragraphs and it's starting to literally (not using that word like some tween teenybopper) make me grind my teeth when reading, which, obviously, is not really the desired result. SHORT, not merely "oh, that last widow or orphan is doing X." It's incredibly, incredibly annoying. Examples, phrases, word forms, specialized dictionaries. I'm reading on my go-to, a Voyage, and every other damned page is short. Translate from English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian.

Alternatively, you could apply it to body elements and everything else will inherit it.Īll I know is, I've been reading a series of urban supernatural fiction (think Harry Desden, but not.) and it's annoying the holy s**t out of me. The next question is: where to apply it? Setting it as part of the styling for normal paragraphs would probably be best for most books. Otherwise, I find that the blank lines at the bottom of the page are more annoying than the widows and orphans.What you wrote will work, but technically you should have another semicolon at the end of the last declaration (before the closing brace).īy doing this you are allowing widows and orphans, not preventing them. If you have one line of a paragraph on a page by itself. And sometimes the control is just to increase the tracking just a tiny bit to make it span the whole line. However, when you’re not controlling for orphans and most runts, controlling for widows is easy.
In my own work, I approach widow and orphan control the same way I approach ligatures-I only use it if widows and orphans are causing a visible problem. By default, Word prevents the last line of a paragraph from appearing at the top or bottom of a page. 2) They don’t control for orphans either. We aim to rebuild hope where it’s been damaged or lost. So, of course, Word has something called Widow/Orphan control, but that causes problems. Orphans & Widows is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable organization focused on raising funding for housing, food, clothing, education and medical supplies for orphaned children and destitute widows living in the most impoverished regions of the world. This brings me to the conclusion that we can concentrate on widows only. Thus, widow control will frequently produce extra blank lines at the bottom of your pages.ĭo you need widow and orphan control? Try it. Widows on the other hand never showed up. To cure widows, lines are moved from the bottom of one page to the top of the next.
Orphans are moved to the next page with the rest of the paragraph. Widow and orphan control prevents both. When only the first line of the paragraph appears at the bottom of the first page, that line is called an orphan. When only the last line of the paragraph appears at the top of the second page, that line is called a widow. Picture a paragraph that starts at the bottom of one page and continues at the top of the next.
