Paul, I think I have reproduced your bug. See my previous document with the attached file. Thanks for the forum address.

In my case it didn't tag the first word. This I believe was due to some weird tags added by MS Word so the word xml tagging was split up. You could try creating a blank document with a heading 1, so it validates, then paste that paragraph in. check the results. then do the same document, but this time type it in fresh. check those results. If you find they are different it's the bug I had, but with <strong>. Anyway more help with the Save-as-DAISY plug-in is available through their forum: http://www.daisy.org/forums/save-as-daisy-microsoft HTH Paul On 2 November 2011 14:17, Vic Beckley <vic.beckley@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: John, There is a space between the </strong> and the next <strong> tags. This is how the Word DAISY plug-in saved the XML. I thought it was a strange way to save it too. There was nothing unusual about the Word document. The whole phrase was bolded. Do you know if there is any way to get in contact with the DAISY plug[ins creators to report something like this?

If you enclose the whole phrase in a single pair of tags the problem should go away. You might also try putting a space after the </strong> ending tags.
