Thanks - it's a one-off urgent thing for now, so quick and dirty first, then considered approach when I have time.

[2] Search for "application". You'll find this CSS rule: --- application, hardware, database, productnumber { display: inline; } --- [3] Add a new CSS rule after the above one. For example: --- application { font-weight: bold; font-family: monospace; color: green; } --- [4] Save docbook1.imp and restart XXE. Clean method (survives XMLmind XML Editor upgrades): ---------------------------------------------------- You'll have to do more or less the same thing in a separate CSS file and declare this custom CSS file to XXE. How to do this is explained here: XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment 5. Customizing an existing configuration 5.5.
