Hi George
Use File > Open. Navigate to the template. Then, with the template open do
Format > Paragraph. On the Line and Page Breaks tab, un-tick the
Widow/Orphan control. Then File > Save to save the template.

yes, I'm in word 2007. I do office button, and open, and then trusted templates, then I open that and change the widow/orphan, but it only changes it for that one page. I want to kill widow/orphan forever. Many thanks for any help you can give me.

It isn't possible to change it for "only one page" -- Word doesn't
know what a "page" is.
If you fixed it in your normal.dotm (or normal.dotx) template, it will
be fixed in every new document you create.
