Fine ... but if that hole at the top of the third column is always a 
fixed size, then the scheme I outlined should work without fail.  No 
need to compromise the specification ... especially if you need to 
compromise the specification later for something you *really* cannot do.

I find in many projects there are always things the customer is used 
to seeing with formatting processes tightly tied to transformation 
that need to be given up when using the arms-length processes of 
XSL-FO.  If I can give them as much as possible, then they are less 
reluctant to give up something I cannot at all satisfy.

Thanks for letting me know.

Good luck with your project!

Absolutely good of you to do so when working with digest mail.  Thank 
you for being considerate.
