The value should be less than the value in the Words With At Least <x> Letters box.

Widow and Orphan Control
Controls widow and orphan lines in text and text field objects. A widow is the last line of a paragraph that appears by itself at the top of the next page. An orphan is the first line of a paragraph that appears by itself at the bottom of a page. The widow and orphan control ensures that a minimum of two lines from the paragraph are kept together.
