I cannot reproduce the problem with XXE v4. My guess is that you are trying to paste a reference to a DocBook 5 chapter into a DocBook 4 book. > Lastly, is there a way to extract chapter elements from a book and save them > to separate files?

The very last step of such macro would be to replace the chapter contained in the book by a reference to the extracted chapter. This last step requires enhancing the "include" command (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/include.html). Such enhancement will be available in XXE v4.1.
