If I have a multi-column layout, is there a way to have an image or

element but not overlaid?

Yes, but in the simple page geometry available in XSL-FO 1.0 you only have 
the choice of spanning all columns, not just some of the columns.  The act 
of spanning all columns splits the main reference area into separate span 
reference areas within which columns are balanced.



If so what processor supports this?

Both Antenna House and RenderX support the span="all" property.



I hope this helps.
