Default Widow/orphan control

Is there a way to turn this widow/orphan control off
unless I want it? I have to click it almost every time I
reach the bottom of a page.

Hi, Betty. What you ask involves removing a bit of paragraph formatting
from the style (Normal, Body Text, etc.) that you are using. To do
this, click on Format | Styles and Formatting | select style | Modify
| Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks | uncheck the "Widow/Orphan
control" box | OK | check the "Add to template" box.

Under
Format Paragraph Line and page breaks
is a check-box to turn the feature on or off.

(I use Word 97.)
