Yes, what we did was the following: A is the table you want to center. The width of A is w-a. The width of the page is w-p. Now make a new table B with 3 columns. The width of the columns of B are: 1 & 3 column: (w-p - w-a)/2 2 column: w-a. Let the 1. and 3. column be empty and put the table A into the second column and it will make a centered table. Cumbersome, but it works... And we let the stylesheet do all the calculations. Just make the following template and call it using <xsl:call-template ...> The template will not only center tables but any "object": <xsl:template name="makeCenteredPage"> <xsl:param name="pageW"/> <!-- the page width --> <xsl:param name="objW"/> <!-- the object width --> <xsl:param name="obj"/> <!-- the object itself, will be called trough a xsl:apply template --> <!-- make a Table with one centered column --> <xsl:message> makeCentered: objW = <xsl:value-of select="$objW"/> pageW = <xsl:value-of select="$pageW"/> </xsl:message> <xsl:comment> Centered table </xsl:comment> <fo:table> <fo:table-column column-width="{($pageW - $objW) div 2}cm" background-color="#ffffff"/> <fo:table-column column-width="{$objW}cm" background-color="#ffffff"/> <fo:table-column column-width="{($pageW - $objW) div 2}cm" background-color="#ffffff"/> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="1" vertical-align="middle" background-color="#ffffff" space-before="27pt" padding-top="2pt" padding-bottom="2pt" padding-left="15pt"> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell vertical-align="middle" background-color="#ffffff"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$obj"/> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="1" vertical-align="middle" background-color="#ffffff" space-before="27pt" padding-top="2pt" padding-bottom="2pt" padding-left="15pt"> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> </xsl:template> Hope it helps you...
