Subject: Flat XML structure 2 Hierachial XML structure .... help needed

Hi List

I have a XML document (FIGURE 1) which has been created from a MSWord document. I need to transform it into the XML document described in FIGURE 2.

This is my first XSLT sheet, and i tried a recursive solution,
which did not seem successful.  i am guessing because the source xml has
such a flat structure.

I am looking for some help from the list members - to find out what the general solution to this kind of problem is, and some pointers to some examples if such things exist.

Many thanks for your help.

Best Regards
Mark Brand
