MacWrite had an interesting behaviour that was grafted by MSFT before they
even did the page view in Word 4 (Mac), which was not the default until Word
6. Both (MacWrite and Word 3) were usign a "Normal Mode"-like view which was
not showing a page but a continuous flow of text with the correct width and
the page break shown.
Editing Footer and or Header displayed a new window (say frame) with their
respective content. I think that this is what AbiWord should do in Normal
mode view.
