Dear All,
When I insert a vertical space in the beginning of a page, such a
vertical space does not appear in the pdflatex output. (Please, see

That's what the "protect" button is for. This is the difference between 
\vspace and \vspace* in LaTeX. The former can disappear in such cases. 
Maybe the "protect" isn't very clear.
