How to Organize Text Together in Word Paragraphs
Keeping the flow of lines together in a paragraph
In order to keep the lines in a paragraph together on the same page, you can use the Ribbon in Word.
1. In the Word document, select the paragraph that contains the text that you want to keep together. To select a paragraph, simply click on it within the paragraph.
2. Click the Home tab in the Ribbon, followed by the dialog box launcher in the bottom right corner of the Paragraph group in the Paragraph group. When you click on the Paragraph button, the Paragraph dialog box appears.
3. Select the Tabs menu option, followed by the Line and Page breaks option. Microsoft Word provides options for aligning the lines of a paragraph or aligning the paragraph with the lines of the paragraph immediately following it.
4. Verify that the lines are together.
5. Press the OK button to confirm your action. It will no longer be necessary to divide the paragraph into multiple pages.
