Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57563
"Keep with previous" as well as "Keep with next" paragraph
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:36 UTC
All the versions of Open office (and M$ Office for that matter) only allow one paragraph to be glued to the next one. If the desired outcome for a document is to keep short sections together, for example a heading with a few paragraphs, then the last paragraph has to be a different style (Not keep with next) otherwise the whole document tries to stay together and the net effect is as if the style were not applied. This is simple to apply, but a pain to maintain when the document is being worked on. The soluton to this is to introduce a "Keep with previous" paragraph setting, and I imagine this would be pretty simple to do (not having actually studied the code, though). In my case the heading(s) would have "keep with next" and the paragraphs "keep with previous", and hey would form a coherent block. Any one think this has merit?
Reassigned to requirments.
Similar to Issue 7923. Please vote for Issue 7923 instead.
Yes I do think it has merit.
