Nisus has a style called "Keep text on same page" which will do what
you want.  It's a little more flexible than Word's "Keep with next
paragraph", since it also does double-duty as a style that provides
widow and orphan control (in fact, one of the supplied macros goes
through all your text and applies it to the first and last two lines
of every paragraph).

So you just select your heading and as many lines of the following
paragraph as you feel should be kept with it and apply the style. 

Of course, where Nisus really shines is in its macros.  It would be
easy to write a macro that searched for all paragraphs with a
"Heading" style, selected the paragraph and the following N lines
of the next paragraph and applied the style throughout your document.
