Hussein, Even when I have only the <section> selected (so that the navigation bar between the document window and the toolbar shows "book+chapter+section") and it is with this selection that I am attempting to insert a nested section *not* inside a <para>. Am I not allowed to insert a section due to the fact that XXE is working with the caret position and not with my selection as shown below the toolbar when validating what elements I can insert?

I think there is a misunderstanding here (may be you are used to other XML editors). In XXE, "Insert" means Insert *inside* and you certainly cannot insert a section *inside* a para (let's say the caret is within a para). Command "Insert after" will *not* allow you to insert a nested section after a para unless this para is the *last* child of its section. Command "Replace" will *not* allow you to replace a para with a nested section unless this para is the *last* child of its section. This behavior is compliant with what is specified in the DTD: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section ::= (SectionInfo?, (Title,Subtitle?,TitleAbbrev?), (ToC|LoT|Index|Glossary|Bibliography)*, (((CalloutList|GlossList|ItemizedList|OrderedList|SegmentedList| SimpleList|VariableList|Caution|Important|Note|Tip|Warning| LiteralLayout|ProgramListing|ProgramListingCO|Screen|ScreenCO| ScreenShot|Synopsis|CmdSynopsis|FuncSynopsis|FormalPara|Para| SimPara|Address|BlockQuote|Graphic|GraphicCO|MediaObject| MediaObjectCO|InformalEquation|InformalExample|InformalFigure| InformalTable|Equation|Example|Figure|Table|MsgSet|Procedure| Sidebar|QandASet|Anchor|BridgeHead|Comment|Highlights| Abstract|AuthorBlurb|Epigraph|IndexTerm)+, ((RefEntry)*| Section*))| (RefEntry)+| Section+), (ToC|LoT|Index|Glossary|Bibliography)*) Para ::= ((#PCDATA|FootnoteRef|XRef|Abbrev|Acronym|Citation|CiteRefEntry| CiteTitle|Emphasis|FirstTerm|ForeignPhrase|GlossTerm|Footnote| Phrase|Quote|Trademark|WordAsWord|Link|OLink|ULink|Action| Application|ClassName|Command|ComputerOutput|Database|Email| EnVar|ErrorCode|ErrorName|ErrorType|Filename|Function|GUIButton| GUIIcon|GUILabel|GUIMenu|GUIMenuItem|GUISubmenu|Hardware| Interface|InterfaceDefinition|KeyCap|KeyCode|KeyCombo|KeySym| Literal|Constant|Markup|MediaLabel|MenuChoice|MouseButton| MsgText|Option|Optional|Parameter|Prompt|Property|Replaceable| ReturnValue|SGMLTag|StructField|StructName|Symbol|SystemItem| Token|Type|UserInput|VarName|Anchor|Author|AuthorInitials| CorpAuthor|ModeSpec|OtherCredit|ProductName|ProductNumber| RevHistory|Comment|Subscript|Superscript|InlineGraphic| InlineMediaObject|InlineEquation|Synopsis|CmdSynopsis| FuncSynopsis|IndexTerm|CalloutList|GlossList|ItemizedList| OrderedList|SegmentedList|SimpleList|VariableList|Caution| Important|Note|Tip|Warning|LiteralLayout|ProgramListing| ProgramListingCO|Screen|ScreenCO|ScreenShot|Address|BlockQuote| Graphic|GraphicCO|MediaObject|MediaObjectCO|InformalEquation| InformalExample|InformalFigure|InformalTable|Equation|Example| Figure|Table)+) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can guarantee you that there is no bug here.
