I'm trying to solve the following problems with Microsoft Word (4.0); if
you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
1. Is there any nice way to make the equivalent of a "stationery" document
   (like with MacWrite II) in Word?  The closest I can come is by locking
   the file via Get Info.  This is ugly, as it produces a "document is
   locked" dialog box when opening the file.  I'm creating a letterhead,
   and don't want users to accidentally write into the original copy of
   the file.
2. Is there any way to create a paragraph that always takes up the same
   physical space on the page?  For instance, if I want it to take up 5
   lines, if I type 2 lines of text and press return, the equivalent of 3
   blank lines will be left before the next paragraph starts.  Positioning
   the next paragraph on the page won't always do the trick, since later
   non-positioned paragraphs may flow text into the blank space.
3. Is there any way to give a version number to a Word document so that this
   information is visible in Get Info?
Many thanks for any help!
