Controlling orphans and widows with Keep Options - InDesign Tutorial

Controlling orphans and widows with Keep Options
How do you make sure that a heading stays with the paragraphs that follow it, or how do you make sure that there's always at least two lines of text at the top or bottom of every page? These issues are the purview of InDesign's Keep Options feature. Let me show you how it works. I have my Roux catalogue document open from the exercise folder, and I'm going to jump to the next spread by pressing Option+Page Down or Alt+Page Down. Then I'll zoom in on the bottom half of the left hand page, just so that I can see the text a little bit better. I don't really need to see all those guides so I'll press the W key to jump into preview mode. Now I can see that in this catalogue, I have a bunch of different types of paragraphs. For example, animation is a section opener. Then I have a course title, the location and date of that course, and then a description of the course. Now I can tell it would be really terrible if, in this catalogue, something happened that would separate these sections…
