Hi Jonathan, Yes, DocBook elements map directly to paragraph and character styles in the Word document. Any non-supported markup in the Word document is discarded by the stylesheets (some basic formatting - bold, italic, underline - is mapped to DocBook). The additions/deletions feature of Track Changes is not supported by DocBook, and therefore also not supported by the conversion stylesheets. This is the area where I would have to (1) find a schema that models additions/deletions, and (2) add custom functionality to the conversion stylesheets to support same schema.
