Thanks for the detailed response. Turning off the quick start cache makes all the difference! May be it should be noted in the documentation :-)
The 'add custom element templates' tool looks very useful, but I was trying to write a customisation file that I could roll out to all my users. Is it possible to copy the template created through the tool so that they can be distributed? We are just starting to learn how to get the most out of XXE, it is a real up hill struggle to convince the authors to use a different tool and the more customisation that I can give them the more likely it is they will see the benefits.
