If the node path bar shows "book+chapter+section", use "Insert After" to insert a section after the selected one. If, like you said, you want to insert a *nested* section inside a parent section, move your caret inside *last* child of the parent selection. Let's say this last child is a para, the node path bar must display "book+chapter+section+para+#text", then use "Insert After" to insert a nested section after the para. What is important here is to select last child of parent section to be able to insert a nested section after this last child. If, for example, last child of parent section is a table, moving the caret in an entry will not work. You'll have to select the whole table (i.e. node path bar must display "book+chapter+section+table"). --- PS: There is half a dozen way to achieve the same thing, but for clarity, I'm just describing the most basic one. --- PS 2: If a node is displayed with a thin red line around it, XXE works with this node wherever is the caret. This node is called the ``explicitly selected node''. If there is no explicitely selected node (no red box), XXE ``works with the caret'', that is, XXE considers that the *element* containing the caret is implicitly selected. This way of doing things is very convenient once you get used to it. All this is detailed in the tutorial. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html . --- PS 3: It is XXE V2.0 *Patch 2*, not SP2. We have not yet been bought by Microsoft :-)
