+\noindent
+Modifications to \LaTeX\ output mechanism to determine the first and
+last words on the current page, plus the first word on the \emph{next}
+page. These can be used in head-lines or foot-lines. The `words'
+you see may not be real words, but any unbreakable object.
+
+Such labelling does not make sense when \cmd{\chapter} generates a page
+break, so the last page before a \cmd{\chapter} (or any \cmd{\clearpage}) gets
+a blank ``next word'', and the first page of the chapter gets a blank
+``first word''. There is a problem when footnotes split: the ``next word''
+is blank.
+
+Two pagestyles are defined to print these words: \verb+\pagestyle{NextWordFoot}+
+which helps you read ahead to the word on the next page; and \verb+\pagestyle{fwlwhead}+
+which is like the headers in a lexicon. Or you can use the
+words in your own page-style\ldots
+
+The words are available in the box registers:
+%
+\begin{labeling}[\hspace{\labelsep}--]{\cmd{\FirstWordBox}}
+\item[\cmd{\FirstWordBox}] first word on this page
+\item[\cmd{\NextWordBox}] first word on next page
+\item[\cmd{\LastWordBox}] last word on this page
+\end{labeling}
+%
+Use them in your header lines like: \verb+\copy\LastWordBox+.
+
+Note that `words' may be things like:
+%
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \verb+two~words+
+\item \verb+[ ]Word+ (\verb+[ ]+ represents a parindent box)
+\item a whole displayed equation
+\item the first column of an aligned equation
+\item anomalously blank, if there are \cmd{\write}s or split footnotes etc.
+\item partial words like \verb+par-+ or \verb+-tial+.
+\end{itemize}
+
+An entirely different approach is possible using \cmd{\mark} and \cmd{\obeyspaces},
+and would have different problems. The problems with catcode changes
+may be more or less serious for your particular application. You are
+welcome to write a package using that method. The best solution would
+involve \cmd{\mark} and an input filter program to
+`\verb+\w{tag} \w{each} \w{word}, \w{in} \w{some} \w{way}+.'
