Thanks, Clay.
I suspected that was the case. And the fact that the <_sfe:gentext> element is output inside the row rather than actually before it just further complicates the issue.
I'm thinking that I'm going to have to do that transformation step that you recommended, but I'm holding out hope that a FOSI guru will come on and tell me that it can be done with source edits!
Thanks for your feedback.
