"Bind" an application to desktop in Mission Control

I can't figure out how to "bind" an application to a specific desktop in Mission Control, like you could with Spaces. Anyone figure it out? I read that we're able to, I just don't know how. Help, please!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Assigning the desktop only seems to work for me for a particular document or session. Or perhaps some applications are not recognizing the setting properly. For instance, if I assign Pages to "This Desktop" whatever that may be, it only seems to apply to that particular document. If I open a Pages document from within Mail, that document will open in the same space as Mail instead of switching to whatever desktop I had previously assigned.


Similarly, if I set Pages to Full Screen, that applies only to that one document, and future documents won't group into a Pages full-screen Space.


Maybe I just don't understand this fully yet, but I'm a bit disoriented.
