Is it possible to position a block in an exact location and have the rest of

example. I have a two column newsletter and I would like to put a callout
box in the middle of the page.

This is not available in XSL-FO 1.0.

A side float will allow you to put an image at one end of the line or the other, and the text will go around it, but there is no construct that can be placed arbitrarily on a page and have other content flow around it.
