Hi again, I found where to change the text label, but I can't get it to work. Here is what I did. Perhaps you can tell me what I am doing incorrectly?
In my DITA task topic, I coded this after the <prereq> element and before the
<steps> element:
<context> <!-- Fast path for advanced users -->
<ol>
<li>Open the
View Cash Control page.</li>
<li>Specify
search criteria on the Search tab.</li>
<li>View JV
transactions on the Details tab.</li>
</ol>
</context>
I added this line to the en.xml file:
<message name="context">Procedure summary </message>
When I use the XSL Utility (5.1.0) to convert the DITA source to DOCX, I get
this fatal error:
fatal error reported by the XSLT engine: A sequence of more than one item is
not allowed as the first argument of string() (<message/>, <message/>) ;
SystemID:
file:/C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/XMLmind_XSL_UtilityPro5_1/addon/config/dita/xsl/common/commonUtil.xsl;
Line#: 664; Column#: -1
cannot transform "S:\ITS\dita_galaxy\output\FinancialManuals\Test.ditac" to
"S:\ITS\dita_galaxy\output\FinancialManuals\Test.fo" using
file:/C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/XMLmind_XSL_UtilityPro5_1/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/its_custom_fo.xsl:
A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the first argument of
string() (<message/>, <message/>)
java.lang.RuntimeException: Conversion "DitaToDocx_gweb" has failed with exit
code 5.
The file converted properly and with no errors before I added the <message>
element above to the en.xml file. I don't understand what the fatal error
message means. I attached a copy of the en.xml file so you could see the whole
file.
Thank you,
Julie

Subject: Changing task labels
Hi Hussein.
How would I change the text of the labels that appear in a DITA task topic?
Specifically, I want to change the <abstract> element label from "About this
task" to "Procedure summary".
Thank you,
Julie
