i'm having two problems with page maker, hopefully somebody out there can 
help me.

	first of all, when i import text from word perfect, sometimes (and 
it seems to be arbitrary) commas are not translated and words which were 
separated by a comma in wp51 are runtogether in pagemaker. why? and what do 
i do to stop this? i just printed out a 32 page doccument and distributed 
it, only later to realize that maybe 40 or 50 commas didn't properly cross 
over.

	secondly, is there a way to "nail" the top or bottom of a window to 
a particular page or place on the page? I'd like to have an article in a 
doccument which will go from say, page one halfway down page six, put it 
there, nail the top and bottom, and be able to insert text and have the 
leading autoset to keep the text where it ought to be. is this possible? 
also, is it ethical (or necessary for that matter) from a printing 
standpoint to screw with the point size of few paragraphs of a doccument 
so that the whole thing will fit in a certian place?

thanks.
