fo:block inside fo:table-cell bounded smaller than cell

[bthomasj21]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create a 2 part footer, so created a 3-cell table in the footer of my pages (mirror margins for page and model number with space in between). When I text-align left or right, the text aligns to the left or right of the text box, but not the entire table cell (looks pretty much still in the middle of each cell). How do I get it to go to the left or right borders of the actual cells?

Thanks

Bryon

Figured out the problem. IN xsl-fo, the fo:block inside fo:table will inherit the properties of the fo:block containing fo:table. Since the parent fo:block had a margin of 56pt, the child table inherited the same property, and indented the block x2. I ended up setting the margin to -56pt to offset.
