Susanta, I think you're a victim of your earlier thread-hijacking,
check this post:

Basically, I believe the reason why you are using tables is because XSL
1.0 does not provided the advanced layout functionality you want with
respect to regions and page flow (because it just has
fo:simple-page-master), so you are hoping to accomplish with tables what
you can't do with pages/regions. Problem is, if the XSL Working group
would have defined this layout for tables (which would be an odd use
case here), they would probably have first done it for pages/regions anyway.
The fo:flow-map/multiple fo:flow of XSL 1.1 (not yet implemented in FOP)
might help you, as the link above states; in addition, I think the XSL
WG will eventually create an fo:page-master that will also have the
advanced layout missing from fo:simple-page-master.

Thanks.

Glen,
Actually i've a paragraph(s) of text, ABC was just an example.
Like in my
previous example i had 2 paragraphs and to be fit in 2 different
rows each.
It's not at all a problem if i have same number of columns in each
row, but
variable column count is an issue.
Thanks.

Why wouldn't having one column for each row and letting the text flow
normally solve what you need? What would be lost if you did that?

Are there spaces between "ABC"? I'm having difficulty
generalizing what
you want. What if you had "The person is in the room" as text--which
words would you want in each column? Also, what justification
would you
want for the text in each column?
