Preventing page breaks

Post by magical marshmallow »

Hi,

I am writing my PhD thesis and a really annoying thing is happening. I am finding that LateX is breaking a paragraph at a page break and then having less than one line of text after the page break.

In one case it split
Diffusion co-efficient
and produced
diffu- sion co-efficient
, with a pagebreak occurring at the hyphen in diffusion. It appears that alot of the time, the float package can get in the road for this too!

This is really untidy and breaks the paragraph unnecessarily. What I am wondering is if there is a way to move the whole paragraph to a new page, without reviewing the whole document and inserting \pagebreak at every instance?

I'm sure there is a really tidy solution to this, so if someone could advise it would be excellent

Cheers
