section "Section Containers"

This is not really an error in the book as such, but a failing of WordProcessingML
where I think some notes would be useful:

When trying to work with wx:sect elements I have realised that they are fundamentally
flawed because they are incompatible with wx:sub-section elements (which take
precedence).

If you think about it, they are both trying to impose a different hierarchical
structure on the document, one of heading/subheading and one of section/contents.

This means that if you use outline levels and save a document from word, the chances
are that you will only ever get one wx:sect in the document.

"first opening the New Press Release.xml file."

I'm running Office 2003 on Win XP SP2. When I opened "New Press Release.xml" in Word, I unexpectedly got a dialog box for "Download XML Expansion Pack". When I selected Yes, it failed to find the file. I then modified "New Press Release.xml" to point to manifest.xml rather than \intraprmanifest.xml. The dialog box reappeared, but this allowed Word to find the file. Next I got a security violation ("The file could not be installed because there was a problem with the security certificate. The XML expansion pack may not work as expected. For more information, contact your administrator." With the file open in raw xml mode in Word, I then had to "Browse..." from XML data views to "pr2word.xsl" before I could finally see the format of the document shown in the book.

Elements choice2 and choiceB are unterminated tags.

<xs:element name="choice2" type="xs:string"
should be:
<xs:element name="choice2" type="xs:string" />

<xs:element name="choiceB" type="xs:string"
should be:
<xs:element name="choiceB" type="xs:string" />
