Hi dear Patrick! yes, I do use the fop1.extentions parameter. I noticed that the tables-related warning appears now at the beginning and at the end of compilation. But what bothers me now more is the overflowing message. I noticed that overflowing appears in lists. Can't figure out what is wrong. It seems that numbering is the problem: number 10 and higher are adjacent to the listitem body. Is it a FOP bug? Regards, Nancy
