Bruno, As I stated, the all parts of the table will flow across the bottom half of many pages. In other words, the table starts on the bottom half of page one, continues on the bottom half of page two, and so forth.

I'm hoping so. Where do you want the remaining part of the table to start on the next page? I think you should try adding the table to a ColumnText object and use that object to do all the checking (if the column with the table fits the page or not etc...). br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
