This sounds good. >>2) It'd be really nice if in the macros/processes it would be possible to >>read the file name and the path of the file on which we are operating.

I saw that there was a %D option for the XXE.Open command for opening the current document. Making this information available as a variable would be very helpful to me. >>3) I know that this can't be done (others have brought up this issue in >>the support forum), but we'd sure like to be able to replace the entire >>document at once.

Actually, this is exactly what I am doing.
