Hi Jodi,

Our local EAD manual <http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/services/metadata/activities/EADManual.pdf> has a small section with tips for various Oxygen features that are helpful while encoding EAD files, although it's not a complete set, by any means. We used to have online instructions for setting up a catalog file and transformation scenarios in Oxygen when we were using the EAD DTD (we've since moved to the Schema, and now don't need the catalog file) and didn't have a good way to live preview an in-progress file, but our current workflow doesn't need either of those features. I might be able to dig up an old copy of those procedures, though, if they'd help you.

Subject: Oxygen setup instructions?

Hello all:
Does anyone have a good set of instructions for setting up and using Oxygen software? I'm writing a set of instructions, have some confusions about some details, and would appreciate any tips that anyone can pass along.

Best, Jodi
