The way that I would solve this is to make a View subclass that has the Text as  
a subview.  The view that you create should be the size of the current paper  
type selected, etc. (see Draw example code for how to get the PrintInfo object  
to obtain this info), make room for your headers and footers, then install the  
Text as a subview.  Voila!
