Page breaks were introduced at the request of the accessibility subcommittee. Sighted people have a habit of referring a reader to the top of page XXX. Without (software accessible) page breaks, this isn't feasible for a person reading the instance via audio. They can be ignored when laid out, but on disk they are there. At least there is some chance for a blind user to follow your arguments by finding the right page? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
