Thanks Craig,

That's a handy workaround - although you can only use <fo:retrieve-marker> within static content as far as I understand such things. It would be good to know how to access the formal table number (shown as $tabNum in the extract below).

The XSL for the continuation text would also need to be internationalized and new localized entries created in the customization layer files for each supported language. I'm not quite sure how to implement the I18n bit - any "key" pointers would be welcome. I expect that the placement of the text might also need to be internationalized to support languages that don't read from top left to bottom right.

It takes a bit getting this to work, but it does work.  Here is a link that 
helps:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/markers.html#d14055e100
Also there is more info out there if you search.  Might even be some on this in 
users forum.

Hope it helps, Craig
