I'm actually having the same problems with the keep-with-next property, it just doesn't seem to have ANY effect at all (I tried using it on table rows). There have been some discussions here about this topic, and I think that some people stated that it works, but I still couldn't figure out how they did it... One workaround is to use table-headers, depending on your document structure, you might wanna use this.

Try putting your margin-top in your <fo:simple-page-master> 2. afaik markers aren't supported yet. 3. try using something like: <fo:block line-height="3pt"> <fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" leader-length="150mm" rule-thickness="1pt" color="#990000"/> </fo:block> 4. I had to fiddle a lot with preventing page-breaks, you will have to use the workarounds (using table-cells/ keep-together="always") or wait for the major redesign, I reckon. Please correct, if I'm wrong. markus -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Thibodeaux, Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Mittwoch, 26.
