Hello: Thank you very much for your help. I took your advice and have solved my problem with the table.
Unfortunately, now I have another problem. Like I wrote yesterday, I have created a table in XSL-FO where the output should look like: $a Name of $a $b Name of $b My XSL-FO code is: <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%"> <fo:table-column column-width="40mm"/> <fo:table-column column-width="10mm"/> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block> <xsl:text>$</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="label"/> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block > <xsl:value-of select="name"/> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> My XML code is: <subfield> <label>a</label> <name>Formatted contents note</name> </subfield> Unfortunately, sometimes the <name> data exceeds the line of the column and flows on over to the next line. When this happens, my output columns resemble: $a Name of $a that goes over the $b line and ruins the relationship between <label> and <name> $c Name of $b As you can see, when the <name> data in the one column exceeds the line, the 1 to 1 relationship between the <label> column and <name> column is lost. The <label> "$b" is no longer across to its name. It is across to the second line of the <name> for $a. Is there a way to connect two different columns together so that their data stays in synch? I would like my output to look like: $a Name of $a that goes over the line $b Name of $b Thank you very much for all of your help!

I am using FOP 0.20.5rc3a (I apologize > for not including this in my first message.) Well, 0.20.5 is ancient, so I'd definitely give 0.92beta a go (*). It's stabler than the beta tag indicates, and offers far more features. HTH!
