you may have more luck searching for
widows and orphans.
but here, let me help you out. wikipedia gives this explanation :
Quote:
In typesetting, widows and orphans are words or short lines at the beginning or end of a paragraph, which are left dangling at the top or bottom of a column, separated from the rest of the paragraph. There is some disagreement about the definitions of widow and orphan; what one source calls a widow the other calls an orphan[1][2]. The Chicago Manual of Style uses these definitions[2]:
Widow- A paragraph-ending line that falls at the beginning of the following page/column, thus separated from the remainder of the text.
Orphan- A paragraph-opening line that appears by itself at the bottom of a page/column.
- A word, part of a word, or very short line that appears by itself at the end of a paragraph. Orphans result in too much white space between paragraphs or at the bottom of a page.
