Description Vossman 2013-05-20 20:13:15 UTC
Feature request: Writer paragraph formatting has a 'keep with next paragraph' how about a 'keep with previous paragraph'. When formatting, I usually have an equation style and would like it to always stay with the previous paragraph. Other times when writing a step-by-step manual I would find it useful with a diagram style.

As far as I can tell, Adobe products (e.g., InDesign) do have this feature..

This has come up elsewhere:
* "Any way to "keep with previous" in Writer?"
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg06531.html
* "Do you ever wish Word had a "keep with previous" setting for paragraphs?"

* "Where is Keep-With-Previous?"

* "SUGGESTION: Keep With Previous - Microsoft Community"

Keeping with next will also not make titles to be alone on a page while next paragraph is on next one.

This also should be default for all 'title' styles.
