Re: Page sequence with no margin nor header or footer

Indeed headers and footers are tricky with MS-Word. If I remove the 
header by hand in MS-Word, save the document, open it again, the 
suppressed header is back. So it seems that there is really no way to do it.

Other thing, from the XFC documentation about the "keep-with-next" property:
"Not supported on block-level objects that contain other block-level 
objects."

Will this limitation be resolved in the future? It would be very useful 
when using XFC with the DocBook fo stylesheets.
