Peter Steele (Peter@Acadia.Bitnet) asks about headers on WriteNow.
I had the same problem.  WriteNow tech support (nice people) recommended
fiddling with the Page wrap factor in the Page Setup menu.  Setting it
to 6 scrunched the header and text body together.  I needed this to
set a multi-page table: I put the column headers in a Header field and
wanted them to be inserted automatically.

Peter's other problem concerns widows and orphans.  I suspect, not having
tried it, that the purpose of this command is to keep a paragraph on
the same page.  The best solution has always been a tiny bit of creative
rewriting during the final draft.

Hope this helps.
