I have now implemented this and, of course, it works great!

I have posted two files for you at:
ftp://sqlstandards.org/SC32/WG3/Tempdocs/
under filenames:
DavidTest1.fo
DavidTest1.pdf
In the PDF file, please look on the page with number 123 at the bottom (it
is the 135th page) and you will immediately see the problem.
I apologize for the size of these files, but they are the smallest I have
that clearly demonstrate the problem.
Thanks again for all of your help!
Jim
