Page Layout ⇒ Preventing single line in a page.

[yotama9]

Hi Guys,

I have a little question to ask.

Is there a way to prevent a single line page. In my thesis I got a page with a single line and my advisor asked me to prevent this. Apart from changing the margins, how can I do so?

Thanks

You need to alter the penalty for widows/orphans. Not sure which, I always get the two confused. That should stop the behaviour

If that doesn't work, try adding \raggedbottom to your preamble

It can't do any harm to raise both to a value where widows and orphans are completely prohibited.

Code: Select all

\widowpenalty=10000

These lines go into the preamble.
