-----Original Message----- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 2:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problem with table formatting The problem here is property inheritance. You're specifying a margin-left="160pt" on a block. That margin is internally mapped to start-indent which is an inherited property. It will be propagated into the fo:table-cell. And because fo:table-cell produces a so-called reference-area, the space available for text is restricted by 160pt. In your particular case you end up with a negative available width (150pt - 160pt = -10pt) inside the table-cell. That's why FOP breaks after every word. I know this sounds weird but it's the way XSL-FO works. The full details can be found here if you're interested: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/IndentInheritance Executive summary and work-around: Just set start-indent="0pt" and end-indent="0pt" on the fo:table-body.
