    Hello Ruth,

    As I said in my previous message you have to use nested tables. Take a
    look at the following code-snippet:

    <fo:table>
      <fo:table-header>
        <fo:table-row>
          <fo:table-cell>
            <fo:list-block provisional-label-separation="6pt" provisional-distance-between-starts="60pt">
              <fo:list-item>
                <fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()"><fo:block>Table 3-1</fo:block></fo:list-item-label>
                <fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
                  <fo:block>Subclasses of IOAudioControl</fo:block>
                </fo:list-item-body>
              </fo:list-item>
            </fo:list-block>
          </fo:table-cell>
        </fo:table-row>
      </fo:table-header>
      <fo:table-body>
        <fo:table-row>
          <fo:table-cell>
            <fo:table>
              <fo:table-header>
                <fo:table-row>
                  <fo:table-cell><fo:block>Subclass</fo:block></fo:table-cell>
                  <fo:table-cell><fo:block>Description</fo:block></fo:table-cell>
                </fo:table-row>
              </fo:table-header>
              <fo:table-body>
                <fo:table-row>
                  <fo:table-cell border-top="thin solid black"><fo:block>IOAudioLevelControl</fo:block></fo:table-cell>
                  <fo:table-cell border-top="thin solid black"><fo:block>Implements an audio control based...</fo:block></fo:table-cell>
                </fo:table-row>
              </fo:table-body>
            </fo:table>
          </fo:table-cell>
        </fo:table-row>
      </fo:table-body>
    </fo:table>
