The second column on the first page contains the following areas: cell 4 area 2, cell 5 area 1, cell 6 area 1, cell 7 area 1 and the area generated or returned by the table-footer containing retrieve-table-marker-2. The first column on the second page contains the following areas: cell 8 area 1, cell 9 area 1, cell 10 area 1, cell 11 area1 and the area generated or returned by the table-footer containing retrieve-table-marker-3. The second column on the second page contains the following areas: cell 11 area 2, cell 12 area 1, cell 13 area 1, cell 14 area 1 and the area generated or returned by the table-footer containing retrieve-table-marker-4.
