Surely an advanced user will find errors and incoherency, but calling
this two macros form the master file I get exactly what I want.
Except widow control and footnotes.

I've tried to get the same format with me, ms, mom but I didn't got a
result that feed my needs.  If it takes me more time and it is more
painful to learn how to do what I want with macros, where is the
business?

Does some macro deal with widow control?
