Ok I have built a form. On this form there are several places for test to be entered as well as yes/no check boxes. What I am looking to do is when a large amount of text is entered into a textbox and it shifts the content below this text box down the page (as it should) it doesnt split following questions and answers between the pages, instead it moves the whole question and answer to the second page and starts from there.

I hope this made sense.


 


Hi,

Is there a question in there somewhere hiding?

And maybe an example, as a pic is worth k words.

I guess the question is how do I get the whole next quetion and and answer to move to the next page rather than it looking something like the following:

########################################################

Will I be able to accomplish this:

Check box YES

<============ end of page 1 ============>

Check box No
Check Box Maybe


########################################################

Mind you I cant just add a page break before this question for if i do that and the previous question is only a one liner then that would create a ton of white space on the first page.
 



Check out Paragraph - Line & page breaks TAB to see what will work for you for Pagination.

Keep with Next worked perfectly thanks...

 
You can automate this by....using Styles.

Make the Style for the paragraph (the question) use Keep with next.

BTW: this should always be the case for any heading styles, as there is nothing yuckier than a heading followed by a page break. OK, maybe there are some things yuckier, but using styles properly simply makes this kind of thing SO much easier.

Now that guy, Gerry; there's a man with Styles! ;-)

Coming from a bolo totin' Texan, I will take that as a compliment.
