Hi Chris ! I've followed your advise and I tried the block-container absolute positioning... and it works !!! I put the container in the begining of the region and the other blocks do not seem to be disturbed...
Thanx a lot !

A fo:block-container can be used to absolutely position a block in a page, e.g. <fo:block-container position="absolute" left="0cm" top="4cm" width="15cm" height="2cm"> The only trouble is that I'm not sure if it works in static-content. The website says it must be direct descendent of fo:flow. I know that you cannot nest it within other blocks. Give it a try in static-content and post back what you find. Other possible solutions include using nested tables in the static content. The outer table has 2 rows, the first with a fixed height. <snip/> Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
