		Hi Michael,
		I don't get it. When I try your first test:

		> <xsl:if test="string(WorkPhoneNumber)">
		> <xsl:value-of
select="concat('(',substring(WorkPhoneNumber,1,3),')
		>
	
',substring(WorkPhoneNumber,4,3),'-',substring(WorkPhoneNumber,7,4),substrin
		> g-after(WorkPhoneNumber, 'x'))"/>
		> </xsl:if>

		I get this: (123)456-7890333
		You don't get an 'x' because you ask for the characters
after the 'x'. So I
		changed it into:
		<xsl:if test="string(WorkPhoneNumber)">
		<xsl:value-of

	
select="concat('(',substring(WorkPhoneNumber,1,3),')',substring(WorkPhoneNum
	
ber,4,3),'-',substring(WorkPhoneNumber,7,4),'x',substring-after(WorkPhoneNum
		ber, 'x'))"/>
		</xsl:if>

		and got with this input:
		<WorkPhoneNumber>1234567890x333</WorkPhoneNumber>
		the following result:
		(123)456-7890x333

		I didn't check your second try. Hopes this helps, but not
sure.

		Agnes
