  Possible better solution.  Full Write allows you to have as many header as 
you want, if you define a header on the first page, it shows up there.  If you
define a header  on the next page that header takes over all of the following
pages up until the end of the document, or the next header which then takes 
over.

  No question is stupid, answers are stupid sometimes, but never questions.
FullWrite will allow you to print *EXISTING* Paint, PICT, and EPS pictures on
a LaserWriter, if you are using an ImageWriter you can only print Paint, PICT
files.  This function doesn't show the pictures on the screen first, you have
to get hardcopy before you can see the picture.  It's a pity you can't edit
these files in FullWrite, but I guess you have to draw the feature line 
somewhere.
   For you lucky net hacker who have the documentation see page 3-37 & 3-38 in
the "FullWrite Professional Reference Guide"

   My copy of Word left my hard disk right after recieving the Pre-Release,
even with the bugs FullWrite was better than that other Word Processor,
now it's just superior!
