"keep with next" doesn't work

1. When creating groups of paragraphs or lists that must remain together and so not break at the bottom of a page, make sure every paragraph of the group, except the last one, is checked "Keep with next" and "keep lines together".
2. Troubleshooting:
   Just go to the last paragraph of the group and turn off "keep with next" and the group will function normally.
