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:

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.
