Thanks for the clarification--but for this code to be
activated, InlineStackingLayoutManager's addAreas()
function must be called. However, the instance of
ISLM in this function is just a local variable whose
addAreas() is never activated (normally it's called by
PageLayoutManager--I can't do so here because of other
PLM-specific objects needed by it.) Hopefully Victor
can shed more light on this--this may not be an easy
problem to fix.
