Thanks Thomas, I think this is a good idea: the XSLT would be trivial (or a little DOM code, which might run faster) and it looks like it's considerably easier to get the information back. Two further questions if I may: 1) If I construct the DOM myself, must I use an SVG12DOMImplementation to use flowRoot? 2) Is the flowRoot stuff in Batik 1.6 OK, or should I use trunk from SVN? Thanks again for your help, you obviously do a lot of work answering questions on this list, and it is appreciated. Hopefully I shan't have cause to trouble you again. -- HH --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
