Apologies, I lied. I had downloaded 1.0 last week to test against to see if that fixed things, and had forgotten that I'd changed my scripts to use the fop-1.0 install rather than the system default. So yes, I'm seeing the problem on 1.0. Whilst putting together a simple example of the problem, I've discovered that it works fine on the first page of each chapter. On the 2nd and subsequent pages (even/odd makes no difference) of a chapter, I see the problem. Each chapter starts on a new page (it's been 10 years since I wrote these stylesheets, so my knowledge of fop is a bit rusty. Chapters seem to begin a new fo:page-sequence/fo:flow). It also doesn't make a difference which column the image is in. > Difficult to tell what could be the problem from a snippet of the FO. > You could try taking out the space-before/after attributes in case that > causes some problems within multi-column layouts.

It has two images inserted, one of the first page (which shows up fine) and one on the second (which doesn't). Second image is 700x500 pixels, first about 400x300. Thanks. -- Be seeing you, Sam.
