How can I turn *off* protection against widows=3F (Last line of = paragraph >at top of page.) This is discussed in greater detail in the new (in-progress) style manual, normally available at: But also mirrored (pragma server down) at: I think what you want is: \widowpenalty 0 >2. How can I turn on \flushbottom (LaTeX command) to space lines *inside* >paragraphs but not *between* paragraphs=3F I'm not sure. Peter M=FCnster's email helped me understand the problem a little more, but I think he misinterpreted your lines vs paragraphs directive. Digging around in the source code (sigh), I do notice a parameter that might help. Try these two in combination: \setupinterlinespace[stretch=3D0.08] % experimentation needed! \setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict] I'm not an expert in this area, so don't take this as the final word! -- =3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D= -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D Adam T.
