Okay.....but in my case the only thing showing in the 'install add-ons' window is some language translation and dictionary items, nothing about FOP. Should I be looking elsewhere for the FOP? CT

Aagin...any suggestions and guidelines? > Command-line utility convertdoc is in fact XXE but without a GUI. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/convertdoc.html Therefore everything installed in XXE is automatically used by convertdoc. In your case, you need to install the FOP add-on in XXE using "Options|Install Add-ons". After that, the convertdoc utility is hard to use because you need to read the source of the process command to learn which -s and -u command-line options to use. Example 1: Convert the User's Guide to multi-page HTML. (The process command being invoked is docb.toHTML.) --- $ convertdoc -p callout.graphics 1 \ -p toc.section.depth 3 \ -p chunk.section.depth 0 \ -p use.id.as.filename 1 \ docb.toHTML userguide.xml \ -u /tmp/html --- Example 2: Convert the User's Guide to PDF. (The process command being invoked is docb.toPSFile.) --- $ convertdoc -p callout.graphics 0 \ -p toc.section.depth 4 \ -p variablelist.as.blocks 1 \ -p insert.link.page.number yes \ -p insert.xref.page.number yes \ docb.toPSFile userguide.xml \ -s pdf -s "|pdf" -s "/book toc" -s 1 \ -u /tmp/userguide.pdf --- This email and any files contained therein is confidential and may contain privileged information.
