What you want to do is not directly related to our tools. You intend to directly modify the DocBook XSL style sheets[*]. Our tools just happen to bundle the DocBook XSL style sheets. The DocBook XSL style sheets are very well documented. You need to read this documentation. DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide by Bob Stayton -- http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html -- says: --- Changing the header or footer text The content for running headers is defined in a stylesheet template named header.content. Likewise, the footers are defined in a template named footer.content. You see the default versions in fo/pagesetup.xsl. --- Therefore you need to search for a file called "pagesetup.xsl" contained in a subdirectory called "fo" in the distributions of XMLmind XML Editor and/or XMLmind XSL-FO Converter. Note that XMLmind XML Editor Personal Edition does not have a "Convert Document" menu. Therefore it is useless to change anything in the distribution of this product (unless you download and install an evaluation key which will transform Personal Edition to Evaluation Edition for one week). --- [*] which is not the recommended way to do what you want. The recommended way to do it is create a customization layer. See http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer
