Thanks Colin.

I was hoping one of you guys would respond to this. A few questions:

- Why are page breaks in the XSLT in the first place if this is a common problem?

- Are there condition(s) where page breaks are absolutley required in the XSLT?

- Do your suggestions also handle the line splitting problem which ocassionally occurs at the last line of one page to the first line of the next page? If not, what are your suggestions?

- Since this is not a "trivial problem" (no kidding!), are there docs to assist with Lisa's techniques? Sorry, but I couldn't make it to Frankfurt.
