For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As I understand it, widows and orphans are single lines of text stranded
across page breaks. They have nothing to do with final lines of paragraphs
with single words.
I can never remember if a single line at the end of the page is an orphan
and the single line at the top of a page is the widow or vice-versa, but I'm
virtually certain that both involve page breaks.
