Thanks for the info.  It worked very nicely and I especially like the
"automagical" resizing :)

However, I think there may be a little bug with KWord (I'm basing my
comments
on the 1.1 code at the moment because I can't use the CVS properly until
January because of a - currently - limited internet connection so I may be
wrong about this):

It seems that if I depend on the auto-resize feature, "Text Frameset 1"
_has_
to be the first frameset in the file else KWord renders it incorrectly
(header
is hidden behind Text Frameset 1) and seems to cause flicker (see
attachment).
Moving "Text Frameset 1" back up to the top of the XML solves the problem.
But shouldn't the ordering of framesets not matter?

Thanks!
Clarence

P.S. I think there maybe something wrong with the attachment!  I'll have to
send it to you later, when I boot back into Linux :(
