Hi Ken & et al:

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I really appreciate your help. Upon
implementing your suggested page-sequence-master object, I am now getting an
extract first page or page one is displaying with the number "1" and all the
data is starting on the second page. I am sure I didn't interpret your
suggestion correctly. I am not sure if I need another page-sequence to
accommodate the single-page-master-reference. Do I need to reference any of
the master-references (...page-first or ...page-rest) from
page-sequence-master in the fo:flow flow-name?

Thanks again!
