I’m the kind of person who has tons of paragraph style sheets as well. In fact, I’m working on a book now where I’ve got about a hundred of them.

I use “TX” for regular text. TXF for text flush.

Other examples are how I name my paragraph style sheets: I use “BLA,” BLM,” and “BLZ.” BLA is the first bulleted entry, BLM are the middles, and BLZ is the last. I use A, M, Z, because A is the first in the alphabet, M just happens to be in the middle (and starts with the letter “M”, and Z is last. I do the same thing with numbered lists (NLA, NLM, NLZ). The A and Z’s have the space above and below. And I use “BL” for bulleted list” in my mind and “NL” for “numbered list. It's just shortcuts.

For a situation such as yours, I would probably use TX plus the number of the nesting.

TX1 = body text with one words nested
TX2 -= body text with one words nested
TX9 = body text with nine words nested

Text white? I’d use TXW.

And I do the same thing with tables. “T2” for 2-column, “T3” for three-column, etc.

I keep my style sheets as short as simple as possible, but it’s also streamlined at the company I work for. And since we have most of our manuscript keyboarded, the shorter the better.

That's how I do things. I'm sure there will be a lot of different opinions on style sheet names.

The publishers I work with don't have a problem with one word on the last line of a paragraph. In fact, hypyhenated words are allowed if they are more than four characters (not counting punctuation) by some. I usually try to have a full word, personally. But it depends on the length of the paragraph. Sometimes in books, there is a lot of dialogue and paragraphs are only a few lines.
