When you’re using page breaks in your document, data will end up appearing on separate pages. It does not look very nice though when you have a page break that splits up a numbered list or the paragraph that follows a heading. You can prevent this from happening in Word 2002 by following the simple steps listed below.
- Place the cursor inside the paragraph you want to keep together.
- Click Paragraph from the Format menu.
- Select the Line and Page Breaks tab.
- Under the Pagination section, click Keep lines together.
Now Word will prevent a page break from disrupting a paragraph.

This doesn’t help me because I want to keep several paragraphs together without a page break. The only way I have to do this is an invisible table, but the problem with invisible tables is line numbering. Each table only gets one line number but I need more granular line numbers for formal document reviews.
