Doubt: 1
My Document consists of 4 pages. so i planned to do some thing like this..
 
<fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:simple-page-master .../>
    <fo:simple-page-master .../>
    <fo:simple-page-master .../>
    <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="Doc">
         <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
               <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="First" page-position="first"/>
               <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="SecondThird" page-position="any"/> <-- any|rest is used-->
               <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="Last" page-position="last"/>
         </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    </fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
 
 
With the above code, when i write the flow region for last Page i got the Error
"Cannot find flow region for flow-name="Last" on Page '4' "
 
Doubt: 2
 How to set IEEE format or 2-column format which overflows to next column when 1st column is full then flows to next Page when the page is full? I want to do this in the middle of the page not from the starting of the page.
     if i use column-count and column-gap in region-body it is getting set for entire page but i need n-column format to start anywhere i need it to be.
 
Reply as soon as you can

1. The element fo:region-body must have the same name in all fo:simple-master-page used in fo:page-sequence-master.
The xsl-fo should look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xf="http://www.ecrion.com/xf/1.0" xmlns:xc="http://www.ecrion.com/2008/xc" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
	<fo:layout-master-set>
		<fo:simple-page-master master-name="FirstPage" page-width="8.500in" page-height="11.000in">
			<fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin="0.700in"/>
			<fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before-first" display-align="after" extent="0.700in" background-color="red"/>
			<fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after" display-align="before" extent="0.700in"/>
			<fo:region-start region-name="xsl-region-start" extent="0.700in"/>
			<fo:region-end region-name="xsl-region-end" extent="0.700in"/>
		</fo:simple-page-master>
		<fo:simple-page-master master-name="RestPage" page-width="8.500in" page-height="11.000in">

		</fo:simple-page-master>
		<fo:simple-page-master master-name="LastPage" page-width="8.500in" page-height="11.000in">

			<fo:block break-before="page"> </fo:block>
			<fo:block break-before="page"> </fo:block>
		</fo:flow>
	</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

2. You can use the attribute span="all" on fo:block element. This attribute will span all document columns. Note that the fo:block must be child of fo:flow.
Here is an xsl-fo example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xf="http://www.ecrion.com/xf/1.0" xmlns:xc="http://www.ecrion.com/2008/xc" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
	<fo:layout-master-set>
		<fo:simple-page-master master-name="Letter Page" page-width="8.500in" page-height="11.000in">
			<fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin="0.700in" column-count="3" column-gap="0.2in"/>
			<fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before" display-align="after" extent="0.700in"/>
			<fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after" display-align="before" extent="0.700in"/>
			<fo:region-start region-name="xsl-region-start" extent="0.700in"/>
			<fo:region-end region-name="xsl-region-end" extent="0.700in"/>
		</fo:simple-page-master>
	</fo:layout-master-set>
	<fo:page-sequence master-reference="Letter Page">
		<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before" font-size="12pt" font-family="Times">

Thanks for your reply.
 
But i forgot to mention that for the SecondThird pages i considered to be as IEEE format us column-count="2" and column-gap=".2in". Except this line, Syntax is same as you mentioned. Please consider the situation with IEEE Format for Second and Third Pages and i think because of this the Page'4' Error is arising.
 
Is there any way to break IEEE format once declared in the middle of the page so as to continue with normat format...

Then you can declare  column-count="2" and column-gap=".2in" on SecondThird, but still the fo:flow must have the same name. Here is the example:
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xf="http://www.ecrion.com/xf/1.0" xmlns:xc="http://www.ecrion.com/2008/xc" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

	</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

Also you can use three page sequence with three different fo:simple-page-master: one for first page, one for middle pages and the other one for last page.
