Sorry, I was replying to a 2011 post via the web page. Here's the original
post:

My problem is the same, and I'm not sure there's another way to solve it. In
specific, I've got some short paragraphs that are sometimes followed
immediately by lists that are related to their content. It's preferable not
to have those lists start a new page, especially when they follow a one-line
paragraph. Widow and orphan control don't help.

I suppose this could be a list-specific feature, but the idea is that the
first item would be forced to be on the same page as the preceding
paragraph, which would often mean that that preceding paragraph would have a
line bumped to the next page. I can do this manually with a page break, but
I'm looking for something automatic that would go in a style.

I would think this is not an unusual problem, even if it's not the most
common thing.
