- From the View menu, select Edit Right Master Page. Roam around this
- page and get rid of whatever you don't want. When you're finished,
- select Edit Body from the View menu.

- I haven't heard of this problem before. I'd have to check this out
- for myself before I can answer you. You are saving the EPS as Adobe
- Illustrator 88 format, aren't you?

- Final Writer does not support footnotes. We have footers and
