Keeping Lines Together To ensure that text, figures, or tables stay together on a page, use the KEEP
command. Of course, your text, figures, or tables must be small enough to
fit on a single page. If a KEEP command requires more lines than remain
on the current page, TFORM inserts a page break and puts the text on the
next page.
You can enter the KEEP command in two ways:
Tell TFORM to keep items together for a specified number of lines.
Turn the KEEP command on before the entry, then turn it off after the
entry.
When entering a value for the number of lines to keep together, be sure to
include blank lines in the total. The total number of lines to keep together
cannot exceed the total number of lines that fit on one page. The following
command tells TFORM to keep the next ten lines together:
\KEEP 10
When you don’t know how many lines the text, figure, or table will take up,
you can turn the KEEP command on and off:
\KEEP ON
\KEEP OFF
Note Don’t include any form of the NEW command inside of a KEEP command. TFORM not only
ignores the NEW command but also gives you an error message.
