My understanding is that the Schema needs to be converted to a DTD, then handled from there. Carole, are you aware of a different approach? -Matt Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training m...@grafixtraining.com www.grafixtraining.com office 714 960-6840 cell txt 714 585-2335 sms message skype:

Haven't looked into this for a few years. I will see if I have my notes, but I thought it was a schema or a DTD, but using style sheet. Not really sure at the moment. Carole J. Johnson, ~~~ Carole Johnson Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC System and Product

Got the problem fixed with Steve's help (from Silicon Prairie). For anyone whoever has this problem, go to your printer setup and switch your printer from your default printer to the adobe PDF printer. Then update the markers again and your index will update properly. Thank you, Gillian Flato

Hi Matt, Happy New Year. We transfer files from FM to AT and back to FM via XML. The process requires a common DTD, schema, and EDD, as well as FM and AT templates that use the same XML elements and the same version of DocBook. I expect that you can do it with DITA too. The FM book is
