It's not programming, but it's the paperwork you have to fill out ot get things to program.
When you have a list with an item that's two lines long, and text above pushes it down such that a page break should fall between the two lines, Word pushes the item down so that both lines are on the following page - this is called Widow/Orphan Control and is an option on the Paragraph menu.
When the list is inside of a table cell, however, this feature doesn't seem to work - which is what I'm looking to work around. Word doesn't push the item down automatically, so it breaks across two pages, as seen here:
Solutions that have been tried:
Playing with the options on the Paragraph tab: doesn't seem to do anything
Changing the margins or text: this is a template and will need to always work
Any ideas?
