So is there any solution to my problem. No. There is no XSL-FO solution for the general case. To put it in simple words I am trying to achieve something like this. I want to draw a box that contains text. I would like to place this box in any absolute position in a page and then I would like the rest of the content on this page to the sides of this block. For eg. If I have a page that iss 12 cms in height and 10 cms wide. I draw the box is 4 cm x 4 cm and i place it exactly in the center of the page then I will be having about 4 cms of continous text flowing above the box, then some text flowing to the right and left of the box for next 4 cms and again about 4 cms of continous text flowing after the box. So is there any solution for this? For a centred box in a table with some restrictions, Eliot Kimber dreamed up a convoluted combination of properties that *sometimes* works: http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200211/msg01196.html Also I would be using FOP to generate the PDF so need something that is implemented in FOP. Then I think you are out of luck. ....................
