Hello Hussein Thanks for your reply. I have attached the XML file and its XSL. Before you spend too much time on it, I should say that I am no expert at XML or XSL, so you may find all kinds of things done the wrong way. Also, the XML was output from FrameMaker; the files are still in an experimental stage (I am learning as I go), and neither the XSL nor the output rules are yet complete, so there are elements such as <indexterm> that are not yet handled correctly.
To answer the suggestions you made: I don't have any xml:space attributes anywhere. The stylesheet reference does specify "text/xsl". Since posting my message I have upgraded to 2.4 but the problem persists. I also tried deleting the two graphic elements in the first paragraph, and that seemed to solve the problem, but I don't know why (or indeed how to put them back without making it happen again). So plese don't feel you have to spend a lot of time on this. I appreciate your help. Have a good holiday!

By default, XXE wraps words for all paragraphs, unless: * Element has attribute xml:space="preserve". * You use a CSS style sheet specifying "white-space:pre;" or "white-space:nowrap;" for a rule matching the element. First question: do you see a tree view or a styled view (something like a page displayed by a browser) when you open your document ? If you see a tree view, what you describe could be caused by an xml:space="preserve" added to the root element. If you see a styled view, my second question is: does the <?xml-stylesheet?> PI which associates an XSL style sheet with your document specify type="text/xsl"? If this is not the case, it could be mistaken for a CSS style sheet. Use Options|Options, Open tab and check "Ignore <?xml-stylesheet?>" and reopen your document to see if this improve things. (But in such case, you should have had lots of error messages.) But all these are guesses, you'll need to send me your document if you want a really accurate diagnostic. Please do so today because I'll be in vacations for the next 15 days and nobody will answer questions sent to this mailing list for the next 15 days. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
