Hi,

I have no idea how to even look this problem up in the archives. If the
answer is there, I apologize.

I find that a template such as

<xsl:template match="/Workbook"> 

         <xsl:apply-templates select="DocumentProperties" />

 </xsl:template>

is invoked when the element name is undecorated with a namespace attribute:

 <Workbook>
.
</Workbook>

but is not invoked when the namespace is present:

<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"

 xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

 xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"

 xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"

 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

...

</Workbook>

How does the template have to be changed to be invoked for the second case?

Thanks,

Mark
