# pushOut

The text system pushes out individual lines to avoid an orphan word on the last line of the paragraph.

```
static var pushOut: NSParagraphStyle.LineBreakStrategy { get }
```

## Discussion

To avoid an orphan word on the last line of a paragraph before a page break, the text system may extend individual lines by one or more words. Typically, the text system only pushes out the last line by one word.
