Robert,

Based on your description, I don't think your document has any elements in it, at least structural elements defined by an EDD. When you see "Flow A: 100_01_01_header" in the document footer, I believe that this means your insertion point is in a paragraph in flow A (the main flow) and the paragraph has the "100_01_01_header" paragraph format applied. If it were a structured document with elements, the element name would show in the footer instead, but it would be preceded by an "E:".

I confess that I still don't quite follow what you are trying to do. I think you are using words like "element," "metadata," and "attribute" to describe something different than I am used to. For those of us who live in XML and structured content, these words specifically apply to structural markup, but I'm not so sure that your document is even structured or that you are concerned with structure.

Having said that, I'd be happy to look at a file. Send it to russ@weststreetconsulting.com, with perhaps a little bit of description inside of it to elaborate on what your goals are.

Thanks,
Russ
