I have two questions concerning WriteNow. I tried to find how to do these
in the (rather sparse) manual, but no luck.

1. How are widows and orphans controlled? The manual describes a feature
   which allows you to keep lines together on the same page, but when I
   use it, it wants to put the *whole* paragraph on one page. I don't
   want that; I just want to prevent one line of a paragraph from getting
   stranded. I can use their command to keep the first line of a paragraph
   from ending up by itself as the last line of a page, but I can't see
   how I can prevent the last line from being on a page by itself. In such
   a case, I would normally want to force an extra line from the paragraph
   onto the new page (Microsoft Word does this automatically), but I see
   no simple way of doing this in WriteNow. Am I missing something?

2. My other problem concerns headers. I want my header line to be separated
   from the first line of the main text body by exactly two 12 point lines.
   However, WriteNow seems to put some inaccessible spacing between the header
   region and the first line of the page body. This unwanted spacing is very
   evident when "Show Space" is turned on. I can't seem to find anyway to
   control this phantom spacing. Am I missing something?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
