New page when I dont want it

[dekkert]

Hello,
I'm writing my first mayor script with mellel.
And now I'm frustrated.
I got behind some paragraphs a page change.
The character and paragraph styles are the same in the following paragraphs.
I searched now for 2 hours and could not find an answer neither by trial and error, nor in the mellel guide.
My version is up to date.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks

I got behind some paragraphs a page change.
The character and paragraph styles are the same in the following paragraphs.

Could your problem be caused by the "Keep Lines Together" option in paragraph styles? [Also known as "widows and orphans."]

Check out the Mellel Tutorial for an explanation [the end of chapter 17, page 93]

Thanks,
but that's not the Problem. I tried every configuration there.
But the Problem may be in this direction, because if I choose the "all lines in a paragraph" option, nearly everey paragraph get its own Page.
My Problem starts in the first line:
my text shall look like this:

Hello
I'm a stupid Mellel-user. asdfasdf asdf sdf sad f sadf as fg asg s dfg d g sd g g g dg dgf fhhkööökkkkkkkkkkj ööö öiliiuiiiiiuii klljpj jkjköjkjlk löjkljlkjlkjljlkjl lkjljlkjlklkjlkjl

sdf sd fsd f sdf sd fsd fs df sdf sd fsd f sdf sd fsd f sd fs df sd f sdf sd fsdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sf sdf

but it looks like this:

Hello

I'm a stupid Mellel-user. asdfasdf asdf sdf sad f sadf as fg asg s dfg d g sd g g g dg dgf fhhkööökkkkkkkkkkj ööö öiliiuiiiiiuii klljpj jkjköjkjlk löjkljlkjlkjljlkjl lkjljlkjlklkjlkjl

[page change]
sdf sd fsd f sdf sd fsd fs df sdf sd fsd f sdf sd fsd f sd fs df sd f sdf sd fsdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sf sdf

Page change even behind the first word! And the next paragraph has only 6 lines. So normally its not a orphan or widow.

THanks

Have you already checked the invisible characters? In the Mellel window, on the bottom left corner, there’s a small drop down menu labeled »Show«. If you click it and select »All invisible characters« you could see the »break« characters:



The image above shows a line break after the first line and a page break after the second line.

Maybe you’ve entered a page break (via shift+enter) instead of a line break (via the return key)

Another cause could be found in the paragraph settings (either in a created paragraph style or within the Alignment & Spacing palette. There’s one field that’s labeled »Paragraph spacing › Below« If you enter a big value here (let’s say 5 inch instead of 5 point), the space after a paragraph will be huge which causes Mellel to jump to the next page.

I fixed the problem by creating a new document. But I know there wasnt a invisible thing, because they are all visible in my configuration.

Thank you for your help
