   It's very difficult to get information out of the OP, but from what I've   
   seen elsewhere the main issue was widow / orphan control.   
      
   (That would indicate that anything focusing on those specific two lines is   
   wrong from the start, as layout should work automatically before needing to   
   be manual.)   
      
   Not having touched latex for 20 years now, I have no idea where to look,   
   but I'm reasonably sure it shouldn't be difficult.
