![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To this I say: who cares? Your reader is going to be so into that story that her little eyeballs will be flowing so fast over the text she won’t even notice she’s switched pages in the middle of a sentence. The school of thought on this stuff is half & half - some people prefer the nasty white space and some people prefer the widows and orphans. Now, the one problem you may think you have when opting to lose the widows/orphans is the fact that not every page will end on a perfect paragraph like the above example. Now check out this picture below WITHOUT the widows/orphans/keep with next activated. Because book designers understand that the way a book LOOKS is just as important as the quality of editing or storyline. If you open any traditionally published book, you will not see this happening. Ugly, huh? There is a good line’s worth of space on the left side that doesn’t match up with the right hand page. The image above is two screenshots, taken of a formatted print book, set next to each other so you can see what happens when you format a print book in Microsoft Word WITH ORPHANS/WIDOWS/KEEP WITH NEXT activated. ![]()
