Nice to know that Ken's perfect solution using XSL 1.1 features will
also work in Apache FOP soon. I have Ken's example working.

I downloaded XEP, and it is sad to report that the XSL_FO 1.1 solution
doesn't work there at the moment. Maybe Kevin has an explanation.

I then downloaded Antenna House and must report that it also doesn't work
there!

I don't know what FOP Ken is usingb&

I understand that there is nothing gained from using Kevin's "only"
solution. In one way it looks more simple, I like that, but I have
really enjoyed getting to know the world of "markers" and all the
things they can do.

Ken also wrote: "If your table were not bordered, then the adjusted
footer height would place the "continued" text looking as if it were
the next line of the body."

YES yes YES! This is how I could get Ken's XSL-FO 1.0 solution working
almost as good as Ken's XSL-FO 1.1 solution. At the moment I use
inverted colors and a little arrow making it easy to understand that
"continued" in the page footer is about the content of the table in
page body.
