Sounds like you're trying to do something similar to newspaper columns. Some time ago, I posted this (hope it helps!):


Also, Dave Pawsons excellent XSL FAQ has a section on Columns:

Running it in FOP doesn't output exactly what is output with
RenderX's XEP (not to mention the few errors you get w/ fonts,
footnotes & such), however pages 3-8 (or 3-5 in AWT?) does have
flowing text among the 2, 3 or 5 columns! The PDF I generated
with FOP-0.20.4 looks pretty close to what was generated w/
RenderX:

Pretty neat!
