Hi Dav, Unfortunately I have a problem with your Tidy on the ultimate test for any program - being able to decode/interpret a Microsoft data file. I have been attempting to 'decode' a large microsoft doc file and fortunately have been able to duplicate the problem in a small test file. While I use xml and xsl as the basis for my work writing requirements specifications I do not have a strong insight into all aspects of these concepts. However, it seems to me that the <o:p> - which usually appears in <o:p></o:p> pairs - should be passed by Tidy. As always with Microsoft data files the percentage of 'junk' is large! I would consider the Microsoft files legitimate candidates for your program - they display correctly in IE5 - and the detection of errors by Tidy seems to be context sensitive. Pragmatically I think that Tidy should be able to detect and 'fix' these errors. If you have a fix I would be pleased to test it for you - that is, I could you it as soon as you produce it. Kind regards David Goudie (See attached file: Fdghdshdf.doc)
