That is what i tried yesterday, too. Thanks anyway.
It's a solution to get the image in the first header of the table. But i
still end up with the problem having it repeated after a page break.
The text header will be repeated as there is data in its table-body being
continued after the page break. But there is no data in the table-body that
belongs to the image header so there is no reason for FOP to repeat the
header (the image) on the next page.
And with this problem in mind i come to the idea of Andreas.

And here we have my next problem ...
There occur line breaks in the rows (mostly generated within FOP caused by
hyphenation), that i cannot calculate that easy. Therefore i cannot set a
fixed row height and i do not know how many rows there will be on a page. I
tried to calculate these linebreaks according to the amount of text in the
fields but that's quite dirty (and not completely functioning at all ...)

I agree.

I think i will try to get some other things working first and come back to
this one next week. Sometimes a weekend of doing nothing helps more than
days of thinking ;-)

Thanks to both of you and have a nice weekend,
Roland
