[xsl] FW: XSL-FO print of static area at end

---

---

Hi

I am new to using XSL-FO.B  I want to print a document with a quotation section (which may be less than or more than one page long) followed with a remittance advice section, which must only print at the end of the document, at a fixed position at the bottom of the page (to enable user to tear it off).B  If there is no space for the remittance advice on the last page of the quotation, the remittance advice must print at the bottom of the next page (which will then be a empty page with only the remittance section printed at the bottom).

After investigating as well as I could, I ended up with 3 possibilities:
1 b using B page-master-alternatives, with a different page-master for the last page, with a region-after section big enough to print the remittance advice into.

The problem I have, is that it works perfectly if the output is more than one page long, but, if less than one page, the text in the region-after section just does not print.B  What am I doing wrong? (example of XSL code used attached)

2 b to use the footnote, but I canbt figure out if you can set it to print at a certain position or of a specific size, and to fit it in, and, if, not, to print at the bottom of the next page?

3 b Can I use a block-container?B  It seems that I will then have a problem to prevent it from printing over existing text?

I will appreciate all the help I can get.

Thank you
Linda Burgess
