Thanks for all the feedback I've received so far.

Just to clarify the situation, there are no problems with bad page breaks. The only issue is with short (1- or 2-word) lines at the end of paragraphs.

I'm using Adobe InDesign. It has widow/orphan controls to keep a certain number of lines from paragraphs on the same page, but I haven't found a way to automatically control the one-word lines. If anyone knows of any way to do this, I'd appreciate your tips.

Don't you have flow controls set up in your source
documents to handle this? That is, widow/orphan
controls in paragraph styles and the like?

Not knowing the content or the audience, I can't back
up either you or your graphic artist. But, I usually
would side with the graphic artist, as I personally
despise bad page breaks in documents I read.
