Without using a layout, print the largest table, measure it, and see if your region dimensions are realistic.

Hmm... I was hoping NOT to use the gridded ods approach (with rows and columns) but rather the absolute, like:

ods layout start; ods region x=5.25 y=4.00in width=5.0 height=3.5;

I will keep hacking at it, though, and maybe go back to the gridded.
