Editing Formatting Objects by hand is certainly not the right way to
do what you're trying to do. FOs are meant to be generated from an XML
source by an XSLT stylesheet. Unless you're writing an FO test suite
(which you are very welcome to do!) I can't think of a reason why you
would want to do that. Or if there is (and please let me know), I'm
sure you'd be better off using some typography/word-processing
software instead.
