I am using the XMLMind server to generate a DOCx format file (sample attached).

On the front cover of the document, I wish for the ‘text’ (currently appearing 
on page 2) to ‘overlay’ on top of the front cover image.

The definition for that section of the document as I have is like this:

                        <fo:page-sequence master-reference="frontcover">
                                <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" font-size="11pt" 
margin-top="0.3cm" font-family="Calibri">
                                        <fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute"  
top="0cm" left="0cm">
                                        <fo:block z-index="1">
                                                <fo:external-graphic z-index="1" content-width="21cm" 
content-height="29.7cm" src="{data/coverimage}"/>
                                        </fo:block>
                                        <fo:block z-index="2" color="black">
                                                <xsl:value-of 
select="/data/countrynameucase"/>: <xsl:value-of select="/data/tripname"/>
                                        </fo:block>
                                        <fo:block z-index="2" color="black" margin-top="0.7cm" 
font-family="Calibri" font-size="18pt">
                                                <xsl:value-of 
select="/data/leadname"/>
                                        </fo:block>
                                        </fo:block-container>
                                </fo:flow>

I have attempted many different ways to achieve this - and I was hoping that 
the x-index property would have worked for me? But it seems to not be doing 
what it should.

Do you have any suggestions as to what may work?


--> Property z-index is not supported. See http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html (search for "z-index").



--> Adding a background image (e.g. "data/coverimage") to your "frontcover" page-master (not to the flow) should allow you to achieve what you want.

How to do this is documented here:
