I have larger files and cannot create a miniature version demonstrating
the problem. I would like to try professional help. If anyone interested
please let me know your contact details.

Probably not, or at least not without considerably more information.

Consider developing a miniature demonstration version of your problem:
inputs, outputs and stylesheet, all stripped down to their bare
essentials, demonstrating where it goes wrong. (See the list guidelines
at http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html#posting.) This
will help isolate and expose the issue so that someone new to the
problem (or maybe even yourself) can diagnose it.

If this isn't practical (if larger files, for example, need to be
exchanged) I'm afraid you may need to engage professional help. You may
be able to find it by letting us know: there are readers of the list who

might be willing to offer their services.

Or, of course, there are other options, particularly if Word2FO.xsl is
supposed to be a supported product.

Good luck,
Wendell
