	I'm trying to format my dissertation in Word and I'm having trouble
doing the following tasks:

1. Deleting a header or footer. I delete the contents, but the blank
footer stays around taking up space.

2. Positioning tables with captions.  I want to position a table with
a caption at the top of the page and have text from the previous page
continue below it.  I don't want to have to manually split a paragraph
from the previous page---that doesn't work well when it comes time to
revise.

3. Centering a large figure on a page by itself so that the paragraph
on the previous page continues on the page after the figure.

	I'd appreciate any help on doing these things.  I've had so
much trouble with figure and table placement that I'm about ready to
move everything into LaTeX.

	By the way, I'm also interested in hearing how Nisus handles
figure placement and paragraph wrapping.  I played with the demo for a
short while, but I couldn't get it to wrap figures the way figures are
meant to be wrapped.
