According to the help file in Microsoft Word 2007, the first line of a paragraph all by itself at the bottom of a page is called an orphan.

However, there is controversy over whether the correct term is orphan or widow. The terms are often used interchangeably.

The last line of a paragragh carried over to the next page is an orphan line. You should try to rewrite and tighten sentences to avoid the orphan.

What is the function of widows and orphans in ms word2003?

In any word processor or desktop publishing program a widow is the first line of a paragraph at the bottom of a page, with the remainder of the paragraph being on the following page, and an orphan is the last line of a paragraph that is displayed at the top of a page. Neither of them have a function, and MS Word will, by default, not allow widows and orphans, although you can change this by placing the insertion point in the paragraph you want to affect, go to the Format... Paragraph menu, select the Line and Page Breaks tab and set whichever options you choose - for example forcing a Page Break before the paragraph.
