In general, page 0 is a seperate area for each block. The method differs for
each version. Version 2.X(2.1, 2.3) cut the field from the visible page,
[Accept] go back to the Page Modify page reset to Page Number -0-, go to
modify and use [Select], (This places you on page 0) now paste the field.
 Verify by going back and looking at the Fields selection.

In Version 3.0 [The preferred approach :-) actually a usable interface ]
 go to the spread sheet, change the attributes to not displayed and change
 the page number. (Just move that slider on the bottom to show the next page.)
 The package simulate a graphic window on 200 characters on 80 characters
 vt220 terminal. If you need more help, use the on-line hyper-text help
 on Pages.    [No I don't work for Oracle -- After suffering with
		?SQL*Forms? 1.0 /iap/ and SQL*Forms 2.1
		using 3.0 is so simple. It's even easier than Jam and
		Jam/Dbi for Oracle					]
You can also cut the field and go to Image/Painter choose Page 0 and
 then paste the field, but why do things the hard way?
