Hussein, The information you provided below works for my Notes and Tips. But, it does not work for Notes elements with the type="restriction" attribute. Is there another change I need to make somewhere for that?

First attached screenshot shows a note found in a PDF file generated by ditac v2.5.3+RenderX XEP v4.22. Second attached screenshot shows the same note found in a DOCX file generated by ditac v2.5.3+XMLmind XSL-FO Converter v5.1. As you can see it in both screenshots, a note is formatted as follows: * Smaller font size; * 4em left and right margins. May be you simply don't like this formatting. This formatting is specified in attribute-set called "note" found in DITAC_INSTALL_DIR/xsl/fo/body.xsl: --- <xsl:attribute-set name="note" use-attribute-sets="display-style"> <xsl:attribute name="font-size">0.9em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="line-height">1.48</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="margin-left">4em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="margin-right">4em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">1.48em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">1.4em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">1.5em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">1.48em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">1.4em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">1.5em</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> --- XMLmind XSL Utility has a way to modify the "note" attribute-set without hand-editing any XSL file. Please use "XMLmind XSL Customizer" (http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslutil.ConversionEditor.html#customizing_xslt) to adjust the value of attribute "margin-right" of attribute-set "note". --> If what's above does not apply to your case and in fact, you think that you have found a bug, then please file a formal bug report.
