Problem with format displayed in output while using Pivot table

Question

Hi All,
I am using Pivot table in 10.1.3.4.1 version for displaying dynamic type data. Data is coming fine but it is coming in very strange format. I have following two tables in my RTF Template.
Table1 using Pivot table

Table 2 - A normal table
!http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6651/table3p.jpg!
In the output PDF, “Table 2” shows data fine but “Table 1” shows very strange kind of behaviour if the columns exceed more than 5 in “Table 1” . If columns in Pivot table output are more than 5[at present according to my Table1 size] then columns more than 5 are shown on next page after Table 2 instead of displaying inside outer table “Table1“. Anyone has any idea what is the reason behind this strange behavior and how can I avoid it ?
Thanks

Hi All,
I tried including following piece of code in RTF as mentioned here: [http://winrichman.blogspot.com/2009/05/cross-tab-by-limiting-number-of-colums.html] but as a result it showed blank page in report. Nothing else.
<?variable:G11;count(xdoxslt:distinct_values(/CUST_SUMMARY/LIST_CLIENT/CLIENT/LIST_OVERALL_ASSET_ALLOC/OVERALL_ASSET_ALLOC/ASSET_LIAB_DESC))?> <?variable:numcol;5?>
<?template:table1?><?param:cellvalue;1?><?param:maxcolvalue;5?>
<?choose:?>
<?when:$cellvalue < $maxcolvalue?>
!http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2508/4104410643_f540c1d5a3_m.jpg!
<?call@inlines:table1?><?with-param:cellvalue;(number($cellvalue) + $numcol)?><?with-param:maxcolvalue;$maxcolvalue?><?end call?>
<?end when?>
<?end choose?>
<?end template?>
Also modified RTf as
C <?crosstab:c594;"//OVERALL_ASSET_ALLOC";"PORTFOLIO_NAME{,o=a,t=t}";"ASSET_LIAB_DESC{,o=a,t=t}";"PERCENT";"sum"?>
H
G <?for-each@column:$c594//C1?><?if@column:position() > $cellvalue and position() <= ($cellvalue + $numcol) ?>
ASSET_LIAB_DESC <?./H?>
E <?end if?><?end for-each?>
G <?for-each:$c594//R1?>
PORTFOLIO_NAME <?./H?>
G <?for-each@cell:.//R1C1?><?if@cell:position() > $cellvalue and position() <= ($cellvalue + $numcol) ?>
99.00% <?./M1?>
E <?end if?><?end for-each?>
E <?end for-each?>I have this as my xml
