One trick I used was to output text in _white_, to force Word to take notice of my spacing directives for the image that is the first thing to appear on the page: (mode title-page (default (empty-sosofo)) (element (doc title) (make sequence (make paragraph space-before: 30mm space-after: 30mm color: *white* ;!! to print 'invisible' text so that a para mark will appear! (make external-graphic entity-system-id: "logo/mylogo.eps" display?: #t display-alignment: 'start space-before: 10mm space-after: 10mm ) (literal " XXX") ;!! this is invisible, because it's white! ) (make paragraph font-family-name: *titlefont* font-weight: 'bold font-size: 30pt line-spacing: 35pt quadding: 'center space-before: 50pt (process-children) ) (grey-rule 10pt) ) ) ... Word has a (reasonable) tendency to ignore spacing instructions if it can't find any text to apply them to. More generally (but less helpfully!), it seems to me that this is the sort of thing which the 'proper' page-sequence flow object, with its page-region-specifications, will do beautifully once there is software to support it.
