It is not professional to have a document with empty pages, having only a few words, the ending of the previous page’s paragraph, or pages that end with a few words from the start of the next page’s paragraph.

It’s not difficult to stop MS Word from doing that!

Go to the Home tab, right click the Normal style and select the “Modify” option. Then go to “Paragraph” > “Line and page breaks” and select the option “Widow/Orphan control.”

Enjoy!

Being yourself an author or student you will perhaps appreciate especially this feature, that the very structure of the book will teach you how to work. The book contains even chapters on how to prepare a document for professional publishers such as Amazon. Reading Steven Adams' Writing a book or thesis in Microsoft Word you are surprised realizing it makes you want to work -- to think, write, use Word and be creative!
