Hi Ken,
Thanks for the pointer.
Just to make sure I understand how to use the PSMI way correctly:
I run may process as I did, however each time I need to go to landscape I
enclose the table in the following way to produce a '.psmi' file:
<create normal FO output>
<create normal FO output>
<create normal FO output>
<psmi:page-sequence master-reference="frame-landbody">
<fo:table with whatever attributes>
<table contents fo>
:
:
<table contents fo>
</fo:table>
</psmi:page-sequence>
<more normal FO output>
<more normal FO output>
<more normal FO output>
I then take the above created .psmi file and run 'psmi.xsl' over it which
will replace the psmi tags with the correct FO for making the page
landscape, and then produce the PDF document from that file.
Thanks in advance
Chris

When I want to do landscaped tables with page flow I use a page geometry
where the body region is rotated. Header and footer regions need not be
rotated.
If you have control over the page geometry that you can start your own
page-sequence using the rotated page then it is straightforward.
If you want to have your authors *trigger* a rotated table, this is not
nearly as easy. To mitigate the situation I created a free formatting
semantic implemented in XSLT available from the "Free resources" area of
our web site. It is called the Page Sequence Master Interleave (PSMI) and
rotated tables over page boundaries happens the be the exemplar used in the
documentation.
A Google search on "PSMI XSL-FO" points to a number of posts that I and
others have made on this.
I hope this helps.
