RE: stacking

Hi Dariusch,
	you can ctually change the static parts of the page from a page to
another, I send you the "trick" version that resolve your problem.
The not tricky one can be resolved using the XSL-T part. When you generate
the letters you can select the first block of text (the one under the
address) and apply a style with the space-before and all the others without
it ....
Embedding a block-container inside a block doesn't resolve your problem
because the absolute positioned stuff are treated like outside the flow (FOP
issue an error ...) so it will be calculated from the beginning of the
referred area container and it will not be counted (as vertical and
horizontal dimension) in the flow ....
