Heading Styles in Word 2003

[cyndi]

I am creating a document, and I modify the Headings 1,2, and 3 styles. It is
set to have NO space before of after paragraphs, and single line spacing.
Everytime I choose text to be one of the Heading, it starts on a new page,
when there is plenty of room on the existing page. My show/hides are turned
on, and there is not section breaks, page break ect. Can someone please tell
how to get this to stay on the previouse page.
Thank you

Some heading styles are usually set up for a page break before. When you
modify the paragraph formatting of the style, look at the second tab in the
dialog box. Uncheck page break before.

Open the heading styles for modification again, and look at the second tab
of the paragraph formatting dialog (Line and Page Breaks). Make sure the
"Page break before" box is unchecked.

It's also possible to get an automatic page break if the paragraphs after
the heading are marked with both "Keep lines together" and "Keep with next".
(All heading styles should be marked "Keep with next" because you don't want
a heading to be stranded at the bottom of a page.) If the heading forces a
new page when there's no other paragraph after it, though, that isn't your
problem.

I did check to see if page break before was checked, it was not, keep with
next was, but as Jay said I do want that. If I hit enter again after any of
the heading, then it will move back up. So I guess it is working now, word
is just acting goofy today. Thanks for all your help
