The footer solution worked with a small adjustment to the content that appears first on the first pages body. Tried what Tony Graham suggested. It did not work. When I have time to play I'll give his second suggestion a try and test flow-map. Thanks for your suggestions Ken and Tony.

You may get the result you want by using 'absolute-position="fixed"' rather than 'absolute-position="absolute"', but the spec is murky about what the difference means in practice for your situation. It says "Absolutely positioned areas are taken out of the normal flow." [3], whereas 'xsl-fixed' areas get the same positioning but without the words about 'taken out' and 'no impact'. If your formatter [2] supports it, you could use a flow-map [1] and flow the block of text into a region that appears only on the first page. If you had a recent-enough AHF, you'd be able to float the block to the bottom. Regards, Tony Graham tgraham@xxxxxxxxxx Consultant http://www.mentea.net Mentea 13 Kelly's Bay Beach, Skerries, Co.
