Hi Jay,
Thanks for your help. I have tried to add my code to the existing template as
shown below but that was giving NPE error during transformation.
<xsl:template match="w:br">
<!-- defines a page, column, or text-wrapping break -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@w:type='page'"/>
<!--xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute-- my
code>
<!--fo:block break-before="page"/-- my code>
<xsl:when test="@w:type='column'"/>
<!-- if @w:type="text-wrapping" or omitted - it's a new-line break -->
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:block/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
So I added a new template just before the existing one and that worked. Here
is the new one
<xsl:template match="w:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:type='page']">
<!-- defines a page, column, or text-wrapping break -->
<fo:block break-before="page"/>
</xsl:template>
Thank you,
Pardha

Hi, Pardha,
I've done lots of work with WordML, so I can get you started on this one.
Insert -> Page Break produces the following element in Word's XML output (in
the paragraph's text run):
<w:br w:type="page"/>
When you do it from the paragraph properties, you get the following element
(in the pPr element for the paragraph):
<w:pageBreakBefore/>
So, to catch them both, you need corresponding templates, thus:
<xsl:template match="w:pageBreakBefore">
<!-- Do whatever you do with page breaks here -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="w:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:type='page']">
<!-- Do whatever you do with page breaks here -->
</xsl:template>
If you do the same thing with the two kinds of breaks, you can process them
in the same template, thus:
<xsl:template match="w:pageBreakBefore|w:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:type='page']">
<!-- Do whatever you do with page breaks here -->
</xsl:template>

Subject: word page break
Hi All,
I am using FOP 0.20.5 to convert a WordML document into PDF. As there are 2
types of pagebreaks in word, one the hard/soft page break(from menu
insert->page break) and two the pagebreakbefore property on a
paragraph(highlight a paragraph and right click to see properties), I see that
it is able to convert a pagebreakbefore but not the hard page break. I am just
using a stylesheet that microsoft recommends to convert WordML into XML-FO and
I could not figure out where we can make a change in the stylesheet to fix this
issue. As I am new to XSL and understand that this may not be a FOP problem but
could someone give me a clue as to why it is not able to convert a hard page
break.
Thanks,
Pardha
