Charles,

I missed something in my posting:

> despite having <x:PageBreaks>
Should be:
> As I mentioned, <table> and
> <page-break></page-break> elements disappear in that transformer
> despite having <x:PageBreaks>  [see around line 1095 - it's in a proper place]
And there is XSL transformer (line 316):
<xsl:template match="page-break"/>

So (by analogy) you are saying that if I expand that template like:
<xsl:template match="page-break">
   <!--
     page-break-after: always;
   -->                                                            <--
not sure that is correct syntax
</xsl:template>
that should put back all page breaks ?

And I won't need <table> element then ?
And <x:PageBreaks> either ?

TIA,
Oleg.
P.S.:  Mailing list rejected my post with attached files  :-(
