Microsoft Word is so ingrained in communication that you may simply open the program and work with it on autopilot to create documents. But occasionally, Word has a little too much autonomy and performs functions you don’t want it to, such as wrapping paragraph sentences onto a new page. You only have to configure a few things behind the scenes in Word to stop that line push.
Launch Microsoft Word and click the Home tab if it is not already enabled.
Click the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph section of the tab’s ribbon to open the Paragraph window.
Click the “Line and Page Breaks” tab.
Uncheck the “Widow/Orphan Control” box, which is usually checked by default.
Uncheck the “Keep with next” box if it is checked. This is one function that tells Word to push those sentences to the next page.
Check the “Keep lines together” box.
Click the “OK” button to close the window and return to the document.
When you compile multiple pages in a Microsoft Word document and want to keep content together on a second or subsequent page, insert a page break to help preserve the page layout. For example, if your second page contains a chart with a description below, this content should stay together on the layout. Changing the default page break at the bottom of a page to a manual page break will keep the next page’s elements together without shifting the contents down as you type more rows of text on the first page. When a page fills up, a new page will insert with the manual page break.
Click in the document where the text on one page ends. The cursor should insert before the next page to keep the content together.
Click the “Insert” tab on the command ribbon, and then click “Page Break” in the Pages group. As a keyboard shortcut, press and hold the “Alt” key, press “N" and then press "B."
Click the “Home” tab followed by the “Show/Hide ¶ (Ctrl+*)” button in the Paragraph group to view the marked paragraph break on the page. This mark looks like “-----Page Break----- ¶” (without the quotes). Click this “Show/Hide ¶” button again to hide the marks.
Continue entering text in the earlier section before the page break. The content following the page break will remain together. Save this document. Have you tried to type over a line in Microsoft Word, but the text is not staying on the line but keeps on moving and creating space, and you are wondering how can I get the text on the line without the line moving and creating space? In this tutorial, we will discuss some techniques to write over the line. How to type Text over a Line in WordOpen Microsoft Word. Draw a line in your document. The first technique we will use is to write on the line; notice, when you are typing on the line the text, is not staying on the line, and the line keeps on moving. Highlight the text and click the Underline button on the Home tab in the Font group, and you will notice that the text will be on the line. The second technique is to click the Insert tab and click the Text box button in the Text group. In the drop-down list, select Draw Text Box. A text box will appear in the document. Move the text box over the line; ensure that the bottom of the text box matches the line. We do not want the text box to have an outline; we will click the Shape Format tab. The Shape Format tab appears whenever the shape is selected, including the text box. On the Shape Format tab in the Shape Styles group, click the Shape Outline button, and in the drop-down list, select No Outline. Notice that the text box lines become invisible. Then click the Shape Fill button, and in the drop-down list, click No Fill. Drag the text box closer to the line. Now, we have the text on the line. We hope this tutorial helps you understand how to type over lines in Microsoft Word. Read next: How to add Citations & References in Word. |
