Hello Ken!

Thanks a lot for helping me. I still have some problems. 

I need different region-bodies, not only different layouts on odd and even pages. So, I gave different names to regio-bodies in simple-page-master, as you said:
			<fo:simple-page-master page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm"
					margin-top="5mm"
					margin-bottom="5mm"
					margin-left="12mm"
					margin-right="2mm"
					master-name="OddPageMaster">
		 	        <fo:region-body region-name="odd-region-body" margin-top="1cm" margin-bottom="2cm"/>
			        <fo:region-before extent="1cm"/>
   				    <fo:region-after extent="2cm"/>
			</fo:simple-page-master>

			<fo:simple-page-master page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm"
					margin-top="5mm"
					margin-bottom="5mm"
					margin-left="12mm"
					margin-right="2mm"
					master-name="EvenPageMaster">
		 	        <fo:region-body region-name="even-region-body" margin-top="4cm" margin-bottom="2cm"/>
			        <fo:region-before extent="4cm"/>
   				    <fo:region-after extent="2cm"/>
			</fo:simple-page-master>
--------------------------
If I keep only one page-sequence, I get the output, odd pages have data (which is good), and even pages are blank.
-------------------------- 
I have to create two different flows, so I think I need two page-sequences (do I?):

		<fo:page-sequence master-reference="PageMaster">
			<fo:flow flow-name="odd-region-body">
				<xsl:for-each select="..........">
					<xsl:for-each select="......">
<!--body for odd pages-->
							<fo:block>odd</fo:block>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</xsl:for-each>
			</fo:flow>
		</fo:page-sequence>
		

		<fo:page-sequence master-reference="PageMaster">
			<fo:flow flow-name="even-region-body">
				<xsl:for-each select=".....">
					<xsl:for-each select=".....">
<!--body for odd pages-->
							<fo:block>even</fo:block>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</xsl:for-each>
			</fo:flow>
		</fo:page-sequence> 	

But, when I run Apache FOP, I get the following error:

	No flow found for region-body in page-master 'EvenPageMaster'
	No flow found for region-body in page-master 'OddPageMaster'

What I am doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Roxana

You are *really* close, Roxana,

The above is fine, except you are using the same implicit names for each of 
the regions.  If you want alternating *content* in those regions, you'll 
need to declare specific (and different) names for the regions with 
different content.

However, if you are only playing with margins, the above is just fine.

Everything above is also just fine for alternating the geometries.

Which is *exactly* what you asked for.

>What I want is to alternate them.

Then all you need is to do is ask that the page-sequence obtain its 
geometries from the page-sequence-master and *not* from the page geometry 
declarations:

                 <fo:page-sequence master-reference="PageMaster">

And you will only need one of these since that page sequence master is 
obtaining the evens and odds for you.

I hope this helps.
