Andreas Thanks very much! Putting the marker in a wrapper in an otherwise empty block stopped it appearing, and had it correctly formatted in the footer.
I've looked again at what was happening before and you're quite right - the Chapter didn't appear. I'm afraid I had misunderstood fo:marker and assumed it took a copy of the text inside that would also be shown in the flow and that was what I saw, rather than what was actually in front of my eyes. My apologies, and once again thanks very much indeed! John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andreas L.
