Default Conditional formatting? Space before @ top of page

I think I know the answer to this, but just want to make sure...

Word Version 2003/SP2.

I am familiar with the Paragraph formatting dialog, in particular the Space
Before and Space After settings.

What I would like is a way to eliminate "Space Before" for the first
paragraph on every page. This is particularly an issue for headings where I
tend to use larger Space Before values.

I'm not sure exactly how the "Auto" setting in the spacing parameter works,
but it still inserts spacing at the top of the page.

This could be a "wish list" item for a later version.

Perhaps there is a VBA script to do this? To be truly useful, it would have
to restore the Space Before value to a paragraph if it was removed once,
being at the top of a page, and later reformatted away from the top of page.

Your thoughts appreciated
