<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Tim...<br>
<br>
There are "top of page" properties for paragraph styles but not
"bottom of page". The only way to specify vertical placement of
content (within the same flow) is to specify the "space above" or
"space below" for that paragraph tag. <br>
<br>
For the main body of each page, you'll likely need to use
different elements to define the various types of content so you
can assign differing para tags which apply the right formatting.
For the content at the bottom, the only thing I can think of is
that you'd set up that content as attribute values of an element
rather than content, then you'd include that in the footer region
of the page and reference the attribute values as header/footer
variables. <br>
<br>
Here's a rough example. First the XML ..<br>
<br>
<pages><br>
<page pm="Dr. John Manager" poc="Jane Poc / John Peosey"><br>
<title>Test of invariance at the South Pole</title><br>
<subtitle1>A-985-S</subtitle1><br>
<subtitle2>NSF/PLR Award 9876543</subtitle2><br>
...<br>
</page><br>
...<br>
</pages><br>
<br>
Then on the master page expand the footer area to accommodate the
new info and use the header/footer variables ..<br>
<br>
Running H/F 3 = "<$attribute[pm]><br>
Running H/F 4 = "<$attribute[poc]><br>
<br>
.. with a little tweaking, it *should* work. :o<br>
<br>
That's all that comes to mind .. not terribly complex, but a
little tricky. Maybe someone else will have another idea.<br>
<br>
Of course, there's also the scripting route. You could create an
ExtendScript or plugin that performs whatever post-processing is
needed. I think the header/footer variables approach would be
easier for this situation, but if your formatting gets more
complex you may need to get out the hammer.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
