Hi, Nadia, Craig, and others, Here's that link: http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-keepsbreaks As you can see, the current version of FOP only supports keeps and breaks in tables. That's how I wound up advising Nadia to put a blank paragraph into a table last week - because I thought she was using FOP. I understand that managing keeps and breaks is the issue that, more than any other, drove the redesign of FOP. I also understand that the new version of FOP should be out this year. Of course, it's being developed by volunteers who also work day jobs to pay the bills, so no firm schedule can be announced. Also, this is the world of software, where slipping schedules seem to be the norm. Still, I think it's not overly optimistic to look forward to a new and better FOP this year.

We used to use FOP for rendering PDFs, and we found that for the most part, FOP doesn't support keeps.

On the odd occasion there is not enough space to render 4 complete tables on a single page, the 4th table in this case is split with the contents continued on the following page. I need to keep the tables together. If reaching the end of the page, tables should not be split but rather start as a new complete table on the following page. I'm using the following code with the (keep-together="always") element, with no success: Can anybody suggest a solution? I dont want to use headers if possible. I am using FOP. <fo:block keep-together="always"> <fo:table> <fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/> <fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>Content 1</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>Content 2</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>Content 3</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>Content 4</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table> </fo:block> Many Thanks, Craig. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.0 - more features, more fun, still absolutely FREE! http://messenger.msn.co.za?DI=1054&XAPID=2532
