I suppose it's possible if you use the text output facility of an XSLT processor. Id'd probably be easier with formatting objects, but I don't think there currently are XSL-fo processors that can produce RTF. Most of them output to PDF (or TeX). A good alternative in your case could be DSSSL... (http://www.netfolder.com/DSSSL/) I found it very easy to use for producing RTF. > 2.- Imagine the ouput of an SQL query with a 'group by' sentence, > and maybe, with total fileds for each group of rows.

Yes, it's possible, but it's usuallly recommended to use an extension function because otherwise it's very bad for performance. > a) To control when some values changing and > b) Do the totals of some fields, the totals for each group of > rows. There's a sum() function in XPath. Linda XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
