Dear Bill, The W3C recommendations mention that you can use the <table-and-caption> element to format a table. I have just tried this, but it appears that this element is not implemented in FOP nor in XEP. To center a table in FOP, you can nest the table in the cell of another table, as follows: <fo:table> <fo:table-column width="proportional-column-width(1)"/> <fo:table-column width="proportional-column-width(1)"/> <fo:table-column width="proportional-column-width(1)"/> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell><fo:block/></fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell><fo:block> <!-- place the table to be centered here --> </fo:block></fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell><fo:block/></fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> I hope this helps.

All of the properties I can find only work with text within the table. I want to center the table. Thanks to anyone who can help. ===================================================== Bill Walker Imaging Field Services Officer Amigos Library Services, 14400 Midway Road, Dallas, TX 75244-3509 800-843-8482 ext: 2853 972-340-2853 (direct) 972-991-6061 (fax) www.amigos.org Email: [log in to unmask] =====================================================
