    Hi Ken,

    Thanks for the pointer. The latter is what I want to do, and I did stumble
    across your web site before I went home last night. I printed it out and
    intended to read it when I got home, but my little 22 month old daughter
    decided I wasn't allowed to :)

    I'll study it this morning.

    Thanks again.

    Chris

    When I want to do landscaped tables with page flow I use a page geometry
    where the body region is rotated. Header and footer regions need not be
    rotated.

    If you have control over the page geometry that you can start your own
    page-sequence using the rotated page then it is straightforward.

    If you want to have your authors *trigger* a rotated table, this is not
    nearly as easy. To mitigate the situation I created a free formatting
    semantic implemented in XSLT available from the "Free resources" area of
    our web site. It is called the Page Sequence Master Interleave (PSMI) and
    rotated tables over page boundaries happens the be the exemplar used in the
    documentation.

    A Google search on "PSMI XSL-FO" points to a number of posts that I and
    others have made on this.

    I hope this helps.
