That isn't necessarily a problem. Is there only one data/footer element? If so, you can just put the needed xsl:value-of in the fo:static-content. Eric Amick Legislative Computer Systems Office of the Clerk

Create a second simple-page-master called, say, blank-page which is a copy of simple with one difference: Define the region-body in blank-page as <fo:region-body region-name="blank"/> You'll then need an fo:page-sequence-master that looks something like this: <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="document"> <fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference="simple"/> <fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference="blank-page"/> <fo:repeatable-page-master-reference master-reference="simple"/> </fo:page-sequence-master> Take the page break off the fo:block as well. If you use that page-sequence-master, you will get a blank second page if and only if the data overflows the first page. Putting the footer on the second page is trickier and depends on whether that footer can change. If this was FO 1.1, you could use flow maps; you may have to resort to having fo:static-content in blank-page instead.

This is what my XSL looks like <fo:page-sequence master-reference="simple"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block break-after="page"> <xsl:apply-templates select="data/header"/> </fo:block> <fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates select="data/footer"/> </fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="header"> <fo:block font-size="32pt" font-weight="bold" font-family="Helvetica" > <xsl:value-of select="."/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="footer"> <fo:block font-size="32pt" font-weight="bold" font-family="Helvetica" > <xsl:value-of select="."/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> Regards Abhishek Regards Abhishek
