    Hello William,

    Orphans and widows properties are aimed to control separation of text
    lines of the paragraph (fo:block) on the pagebreak. Those properties
    do not control behavior of block sequences or table rows. It's still
    not clear to me what are you doing. If you post code snippet (or short
    example) of your document we will try to figure out the best way to
    achieve desired effect.

    Best regards,
