You are correct, as far as that goes. The advantage of a "Keep With
Previous" concept is that it would allow for better handling of styles. In
the example given, the text looked something like this:
Here's the intro to the bulleted list:
o Here's the first bullet
o Second bullet
o Third bullet
In order to keep the group together, I have to apply "Keep with next" to the
first three lines. However, in terms of defining styles, the first line is
clearly a different look (and style) from the other three. I have to
manually apply "Keep with next" to the paragraphs, rather than make it a
style attribute.
Another example is a divider (in fiction) for a scene break. I want the
"Keep with previous" attribute as part of the divider style. I can achieve
the same thing by applying "Keep with next" to the paragraph previous, but I
have to do it manually. The attribute is _relevant_ to the dividing
paragraph, not the paragraph that preceded it.
Does that make sense?
