 Just started with fo. Welcome! I have this cell in a table. ... The thing is that is always have to use two lines. How do i do this? This was important for me when developing stylesheets for use with the Universal Business Language (UBL) documents. Each field on the form has a prescribed location and size, yet the information in each field varies, so I couldn't rely on the number of lines of text. I ended up using a block container within the table-cell. This required me to set the block container to a multiple of the number of lines, but remember that the default line-height is implementation dependent, so I had to then explicitly set the line-height so that my multiplier worked. In the example below I have font-size="10pt" line-height="1.1" which means that two lines will take up 22pt, so each cell has <block-container height="22pt"> to force a two-line height. I hope this helps. ......................... Ken <flow flow-name="frame-body" font-family="Times" font-size="10pt" line-height="1.1"> <block>This is a test</block>
