However, I've kept them off my manuscript this whole time because I'm really worried that if it does have them, it would be rejected just based on that. Widows and orphans do not bother me a single bit, and when I edited my Word settings to allow them, I let out the biggest sigh of relief I've ever heard come out of myself. This can be very useful in tables because it prevents a few lines of the table from. When a page break is needed, Word jumps the entire paragraph to the next page. This option will prevent all page breaks that interrupt paragraphs. Microsoft Word’s default paragraph formatting includes widow and orphan control: it will push an orphan to the next page or column, and it will push an extra line to the next page or column to prevent a widow. It's gotten so bad that there are even times where I impulsively change the entire paragraph to make sure it fits on the page nicely, knowing full well that, 1) The paragraphs will not look like this in book format, 2) Changing that paragraph could change the entire intent of my writing, and 3) Uneven pages are not the end of the world.īut I'm sorry, I just can't help it, I am one of those people that loves squared off pages. The widows and orphans option will prevent lines from appearing on different pages to the rest of the paragraph. I've been working on the manuscript for my novel for quite some time now, using Miscrosoft Word, and I truly HATE seeing gaps at the bottom of some of the pages.
