Yes, the only differences are: 1/ If you want to convert a DITA map, first open a DITA map before selecting "Options|Customize Configuration|Change Document Conversion Parameters". If you want to convert a DITA bookmap, first open a DITA bookmap before selecting "Options|Customize Configuration|Change Document Conversion Parameters". If you want to convert a DITA topic, first open a DITA topic before selecting "Options|Customize Configuration|Change Document Conversion Parameters". That is, in the case of DocBook 4 or 5, we have one configuration to customize while in the case of DITA, we have 3 possible configurations to customize. 2/ The name of the XSLT stylesheet parameter is: --- base-font-size --- and its value must end with "pt". Example "14pt". See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__base-font-size ---- PS: In the future, please be more specific in your emails.
