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.
