Newspaper layout

Hi everybody,

i'd like to know if there is some way to easily create an
multiple-column layout in xsl-fo as it is used in newspapers (the text
starting on the next column if it reaches the end of the previous
coloumn).

Is there any way to realize this without using fixed tables?

Yes, use the column-count property on fo:region-body element of the 
fo:simple-page-master.
