Lars, One way to handle this would be to make up a little table with a line like correct "\s" "." Then put the filename of this table after that of your main table in a table list. Your semantic-action file would have something like changetable phone,table and your document would have <phone table="xxx,yyy">phone number</phone> John -- My websites: GodTouches Digital Ministry, Inc. http://www.abilitiessoft.com/godtouches Abilitiessoft, Inc. http://www.abilitiessoft.com Location: Madison, WI, USA For a description of the software and to download it go to http://www.jjb-software.com
