XML spy crashes every time I try to use fop with it. When in doubt use the command line. I downloaded the visual tools for fo and found them royally confusing. What I expected was a interface to setup a page like in FrameMaker et al that would generate an XSLT/FO Style Sheet with the ability to play around with the source. So far I have not found a tool that does everything...
