Wow, clever - a dollar sign!
Would you like 228 more of them?
I just spent about $229 on Word just because my attorneys
can't handle a plain text email message. (In the legal profession,
everything has to be a Word document, it seems.)
Just one hour after spending those 229 dollar-signs,
I tried to do this:
(From Microsoft Word Help)
"Select the paragraphs you want to keep together
on a page. On the Format menu, click Paragraph,
and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab.
Select the 'Keep with next' check box."
So I tried that, and yes, it does what it says ... SOMETIMES.
But sometimes, it doesn't. Sure there are workarounds
(manual page-break), but c'mon. For $229, and a history
going all the way back to the first time I saw Word 1.x on
a green screen in a 1980s prehistoric computer shop ...
can't the silly thing be debugged by now?
Or is this a bug, not a feature? Does Word sometimes
decide that it just doesn't want to keep two paragraphs
together on a page, even if I tell it to do so, and even if
the paragraphs obviously will fit together on a page?
(And if it IS a feature, not a bug, then why isn't it
properly documented in Help?)
Now I can contact Microsoft Support ONE TIME for assistance
free of charge. After that it is $35 per request.
$35 per support request! Can you see those dollar signs?
