Yes, it should match all para elements from the root node of the current xml 
tree.

Kathy,

It might be more beneficial if you provided an example XML and the full XSL. 
 From your small snippet, there doesn't appear to be anything that 'jumps 
out'.  In other words, what type of output do you see as compared to what 
you want?

The following works fine on MSXML4:
XML:
<para>This is a sample paragraph</para>

XSL:
<x:stylesheet version="1.0"
 xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <x:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
 <x:template match="/">
   <x:apply-templates select="//para"/>
 </x:template>
 <x:template match="para">
   <p><x:apply-templates/></p>
 </x:template>
</x:stylesheet>

Output:
<p>This is a sample paragraph</p>

bix
