Ah yes, I forgot about that one.

This was exactly what I was after.  Unfortunately I can't use XSLT2,  
so this worked fine.  Thanks for your help, and thanks also to Andrew  
for your ideas.

One slightly related question, is it possible to remove whitespace  
( returns and spaces ) from before and after the text.  So in this  
line from above :

<xsl:value-of select="."/>

The XML actually looks like this :

				<Calculation>
					<![CDATA[Table 1::Number1 & Custom 1 & External ( "Menu- 
Version"; "" ) & <Function Missing>]]>
				</Calculation>

So, the data comes with a lot of extra whitespace.  I was able to  
filter it on import when I was getting one node at a time after the  
transform (it's an import into a DB), but now that I'm getting  
mutliple nodes in one step, it's all coming in between each block and  
makes it harder to filter.

Thanks,
Nick
