[xsl] MSXML w:p tag causing problems

[Andy Carr1 <CARRA@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am constantly running into problems caused by the w:p MSXML Tag. The 
problem is that Word treats every text entry as a w:p and does not 
distinguish between Headers, Lists and any other type of textual entry... 
which is reeeaaally annoying.

When there are a number of list items in Word you get something like this:

<w:p>
   <w:pPr>
      <w:pStyle w:val="ListTextStyle" />
      <w:listPr>
         <wx:t wx:val="1." />
         <wx:font wx:val="Times New Roman" />
      </w:listPr>
   </w:pPr>
   <w:r>
      <w:t>Some text</w:t>
   </w:r>
</w:p>
<w:p>
   <w:pPr>
      <w:pStyle w:val="ListTextStyle" />
      <w:listPr>
         <wx:t wx:val="2." />
         <wx:font wx:val="Times New Roman" />
      </w:listPr>
   </w:pPr>
   <w:r>
      <w:t>Some more text</w:t>
   </w:r>
</w:p>    ... and so on ..

Now my problem is I need to group these type of lists under a single 
<List> tag so I would get something like this:

<List>
   <ListItem>Some text</ListItem>
   <ListItem>Some more text</ListItem>
</List>

In theory I could use the <xsl: for-each-group> function to do the job, 
but the added complication is that I am already using this function to 
group another w:p tag further up the node tree which is a Heading and the 
w:p list items are children of this Heading.

The <xsl:for-each-group> used for the Heading, processes it children by 
<xsl:apply-templates select="current-group" /> and I only want to create 
the <List> tag once for the first w:p list item but not for successive 
ones.

So I can't find a way of solving this problem without creating a <List> 
tag for every w:p list item.

Can anyone help......PLEASE...

Regards
Andy
