Oh, but I *do* understand both "keep with next" and "keep
together". In fact, my skills are sought after, both as an
instructor and a document stylist.
I use both those formatting techniques in most of my paragraph
styles, and they work very well. However .....
Consider a number-list style, where each paragraph is to have a
number.
Such a number list may be preceded by a "Heading 1" style, or a
"Bullet" style, or the "Normal" style or any one of Word's built
in or user-defined styles.
How are you going to keep the first numbered list paragraph with
the preceding paragraph?
Changing the STYLE of the preceding paragraph, whatever that
style is, is not an acceptable solution, because that will
adversely affect all other instances of that style throughout
the document.
Changing the paragraph FORMAT of the preceding paragraph is not
acceptable, for that requires local formatting to be applied to
every paragraph preceding the occurence of a numbered list, and
we avoid local formatting as much as possible.
Try my example at several places throughout a document. You'll
soon see what I mean. We're meeting this situation daily, and
again, we *are* familiar with all four text-flow options, both in
local paragraph formatting and in global style definition.
