Keeping things together

Hm. Maybe it's really too hard to explain properly....
Yet I will give it one more try:
I don't have any columns on my document, so ColumnText is out. (I tried it, but wasn't satisfied with the results)
I just have some paragraphs, tables and chunks. These elements shall all be added to some main-paragraphs, which should be kept together. I don't know how big any of the given main-paragraphs is going to be, nor how many or which elements I have to add beforehand. It depends completely on the data of the Input-File I have to work on.
If I could find out how big the main-paragraph has grown before I add it to the document, I could live with calculating myself, if it still fits on the page or not. Is there a possibility to get the actual size of a Paragraph-Object (preferably in points) before adding it?
Or is there a way to "test-add" objects to a Document?
Both solutions would also help me very much.
