Widow/Orphan Control

Apply a widow/orphan-control attribute to the current paragraph or to all the paragraphs in a block of highlighted text. Or, if the paragraph or block already has the attribute, remove the attribute.

This attribute causes the editor to avoid the creation of widowed and orphaned lines whenever possible.

A widow occurs when the first line of a paragraph lies on the previous page. An orphan occurs when the last line of a paragraph lies on the following page.
