With a bit of work you can create your own headers/footers. There's an
example included which describes how to create such views, it's called
ObxTwins. (The first view has a fixed size and will be printed on all
pages, the second view hasa a variable size and will be printed on the
body of the pages...)

Apart from pasting an existing picture from the clipboard there's at
the moment no way to create and/or modify pictures.
Unfortunately OMI thinks it's not necessary to have picture support in
the framework. Maybe some beautiful day...

If "HostDialog.InitPageSetup; StdCmds.OpenToolDialog('HostDialog.setup',
'Page Setup')" doesn't suffice you can create your own since the size of
the root frame can be set with a simple message.
Hope this helps,
