Hello Michael,

I must say that I don't know nothing about WD-XSL. I only can guess, 
what the old version does and how you can replace it with the new one:

<xsl:for-each select="attr[attrlabl != '']">
  <tr>
    <td>
      <font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
        <xsl:value-of select="attrtype"/>
        <xsl:if test="not(normalize-space(attrtype))">---</xsl:if>
      </font>
    </td>
    <td>
      <font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
        <xsl:value-of select="atoutwid"/>
        <xsl:if test="not(normalize-space(atoutwid))">---</xsl:if>
      </font>
    </td>
  </tr>
</xsl:for-each>

Does this do the job? It should do the same, if you have only one 
'attrtype' or onr 'atoutwid'.  If there are more of them, the code must 
be changed a bit. Ask for it ;-)

Joerg
