Summary
Specifies the minimum number of widow and orphan lines for the currently selected frame. If a paragraph has its own non-zero settings for widows and orphans, either set using the Breaks dialogue box or with the <?tpwid>, <?tpor> or tpxbrk macros, then these will take precedence over the frame settings. Widows are last lines of a paragraph which occur at the head of a column or page. Orphans are first lines of a paragraph which occur at the foot of a column or page.
