Dear Hussein, I have corrected the full document now, and there were many places where text had been inserted without being enclosed by a paragraph. Now, only after fixing all occurrences, "Copy as Reference" works again. I will keep a look in the future, to get a clue how I got this plain text inserted, and let you know.
My next challenge is that I would like to "Wrap" some paragraphs and figures together inside a paragraph, so that I am able to reference it all together with a "copy as reference". I have marked the elements to be wrapped, but when I select to Wrap, the "Para" is not an option. Which wrapping element can I chose for this purpose ? Best reg.

I only used XML-mind to edit the document, and I am the only author. Can it have happened during some copy/paste operation ? Best reg.

Section "Mounting and Adjustment" a) directly contains some text; b) contains a second empty title; c) contains a para which itself contains 2 para child elements. (This is easier to spot using the tree view. See attached screenshot.) After correcting the 3 above mistakes using XXE (see attached, valid, document), I was able to copy Section "Mounting and Adjustment" as a reference. As explained in my previous email, XMLmind XML Editor does not always behave as expected when the document being edited is structurally invalid (red icon at the bottom/left of the main window). In other words, please first fix your document before attempting to actually work on it. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
