And, of course, I think I got that backwards. Orphans aren't a
problem, Widows can be.
As I understand it, an orphan is the first line of a paragraph alone
at the bottom of the page, and a widow is the last line of a
paragraph at the top of a page.
You are not alone in your
confusion! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widows_and_orphans says
"There is some disagreement about the definitions of widow and
orphan; what one source calls a widow the other calls an orphan."
