Oleg, You've been a great help. Through all of this, I've learned a bunch about FOP (particularly limitations & abilities).

Apparently I only have to have the disclaimer print at the end (Wahoo!) and I can put the TOTALS in the FLOW so they print only once (I don't have to put it in the FOOTER--Wahoo!). It looks great!

Hi Thorsten, At 07:07 AM 11/27/2002, you wrote: Hello Clay, You wrote: Unfortunately, that's the smallest part of the problem I'm working with right now. My main problem is to determine how to implement the ODD/EVEN functionality correctly. I've finally gotten some headway with an ODD/EVEN, but it's still not working right. I'm only getting one EVEN page & subsequent EVEN pages are outputting the ODD stuff on the EVEN page. *** Ok, if you have two stylesheets, one of them should print a blank page after each odd page. The other should print the stream you pass as it is, that's right? Because we use the work around (we mentioned before. I have one XML document, and one XSL-FO stylesheet. I want the output to be double-sided. The 2nd page should not be blank, but it should not continue the FLOW either. Instead, the 2nd page (I prefer to call it the EVEN page since it is printed on the back side of every page), needs a government disclaimer & a form w/ info on how to contest what's on the front. It is static (it will never change) but includes a blanks people recipients fill-in with their details. In a perfect world: ODD pages print, and EVEN page w/ Disclaimer behind every ODD page. ODD pages will be the only pages counting in the page-number scheme, such that even though I have two ODD pages and two EVEN pages, the ODD pages will indicate Page 1 of 2 on the first ODD page, and Page 2 of 2 on the 2nd ODD page (the EVEN pages will not get counted in the page-number scheme). Since I indicate it should end-on-even, the last page to print is the "EVEN" page. What's currently happening: (I currently have enough FLOW content to print 3 ODD pages). ODD page prints Page 1 of 5, EVEN page (Wahoo!), ODD page (3 of 5), EVEN page (Wahoo!), ODD page (5 of 5), ODD page (6 of 5 -- not Wahoo!). Go back and read that.

Maybe this link will help you (search for: Page sequences) http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible2/chapters/ch18.html That's a great link! But I've own the book it's from: XML Bible - Gold Edition by Elliotte Rusty Harold. That link has almost everything in the book. Funny thing though is that the FO section in the book is Chapter 19, instead of 18 in the hard copy.
