Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 67421
enable Widows/Orphans control by default
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:34 UTC
Within Writer: 1. Protecting against widows (last line of a paragraph goes to next page) or orphans (first line of a paragraph goes on prior page) do not appear to be the default within Writer. 2. While it may be possible to protect against them, I can't find how this is done. 3. Within help, the two terms (widows and orphans) are not included.
If you use "orphan" or "widow" as search term in 'find' tab in online help, you will get three relevant results. If you want it to be enabled by default, you can set it in your personal default template. I change the summary to better reflect the request.
Reassigned to requirements.
