I've been evaluating the software further and it is going well. One thing - we
have quite a lot of DOCX files we want to convert to DocBook. Your W2X does
this nicely, but would it be possible to convert to CHAPTER instead of BOOK ?
Yes, this is done quite easily from within XMLmind XML Editor.
You must use the W2X wizard to generate a custom conversion
specification (which is a plain text file containing a number of w2x
command-line options;
http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/manual/index.html#w2x_command)
for that, then use this custom conversion specification rather than the
default, built-in, DocBook conversion specification.
It all starts from menu item "File|Import DOCX" (available after you
have installed the "Word To XML" add-on using "Options|Install
Add-ons"). See attached screenshots:

2) output_format_screen.png
3) output_format_options_screen.png
Please use the "Help" button of the wizard to get some help or take a
look at the following reference manual:
"3.1. Using the setup assistant to create custom conversion specifications",
http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/_distrib/doc/w2x_app_help/options_wizard.html
The original document is quite large and we want to split it in its composing
chapters (one of the reasons for us to switch to XML based editing), but
although assembly allows books to be treated as chapters, one of the issues I
have is that the original BOOK element is converted to CHAPTER and thus creates
a new chapter... I can manually clean up the XML file, but this requires some
(small) knowledge of XML and I want to avoid this.
This certainly makes sense.
