Widows/Orphans

I want to have the widows/orphans box UNCHECKED as default. I do I change it
so that it's not the default?

Create a new document based on your Normal template, display the Paragraph
dialog box, remove the "Widows/Orphans" option and then click Default at the
bottom.

The Font dialog has a Default... button; the Paragraph dialog does not (at
least not in Word 2003--possibly in Word 2007?).

The answer I was looking for was in your previous post: in the FAQ. In Word 2007, right click on the style, click modify, click format, paragraph, uncheck widows/orphans, click apply to all new documents, okay.
Click to expand...

Thanks!

A Default... button has been added to both tabs of the Paragraph dialog box
in 2007 (it wasn't even there in the betas I worked wtih).
