    I’ve been struggling to get grips with the Keep settings in the Paragraph styles.
    I have a page with a single text frame split into 4 columns.
    The content is split into sequential paragraph (using Next styles to speed things up). However, no matter which combination of Keep paragraph/lines together I cannot get the content to break cleanly so a listing isn’t split over a column. While I could do this manually I’ve 499 more pages ahead of me so would rather automate it!
    Any tricks I should be aware of here?

    Here’s a screen grab of the page (nicely colour coded for the time being so I could see how/if my Next styles were working.

    Well, there may be an easier answer, but this what I would do:

    1) The main head (WAIKATO) I’d set up to keep with next 2 lines

    2) The subhead (Raglan Sunset Motel) style sheet would also be keep with next 2 lines.

    3) The body text (i.e., “Raglan Sunset Motel is 100 meters…” I would have it set up to keep all lines together. By keeping all lines together, the paragraph won’t break across columns.

    By doing it that way, the subheads will be forced to jump to the next column.

    Another thing you can do is for your address, phone, and email stylesheets is to have them keep with the previous lines.

    I’m under the impression that you want to keep the entire blocks together and not necessarily have even columns.

    Dwayne — let me buy you a beer! That helped heaps. Seems my obsession with checking the ‘Keep with previous’ box was my downfall as it negated the keep with next lines. Figured the checkbox was required to make the following one work.
    Thanks again.
