Is there a way to do this without going through the formatting >objects (although columns don't seem to exist there yet either)? I don't know of a way to do it with the XML sample you provided. With the tools we have right now, I think that you'll have to include some formatting information in the XML document that indicates which columns a given list element belongs to. <list> <item column="1">yada yada</item> ... Or <list> <column> <item>foo bar</item> ... Definitely the answer you were looking for. Everybody hates to include display information in XML. This is something that scipting would fix. From all I've read, the WG has plan to incorporate scripting into the draft at some later point. For now, though, if you're using a tool that implements the current WD, I think you'll have to kludge it. msxsl implements scripting and would be able to handle this, but you'd have to write your style sheet using the (now obselete) syntax of the original note. -- Andrew Andrew Bunner President, Founder Mass Quantities, Inc.
