Whoops, sorry, I'm using XMetaL, not oXygen. My bad. However, we do have Oxygen so I just tested it and it works fine there. Looks like the problem is my ancient version of XMetaL (4.5, about eight years old -- an eternity in the tech world). Time to bite the bullet and upgrade, perhaps...
Thanks --

Subject: Problem with EAC schema?
Hi all --
I downloaded the EAC-CPF schema from http://eac.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/eac-cpf-schemas.html and I seem to be having a problem with it. It won't let me put any text in any p's anywhere. For example, I have this:
<eac-cpf>
...
<description>
<existDates><dateRange><fromDate>1830</fromDate><toDate>present</toDate></dateRange></existDates>
<occupation>
<term>furniture manufacturing</term>
</occupation>
<biogHist>
<p>** here is where I am attempting to put text. **</p>
</biogHist>
</description>
...
</eac-cpf>
Using Oxygen, it will not allow me to enter text in the <p>. If I use notepad and go ahead and add some text, then when I attempt to validate it says "Text not allowed here." The same thing happens with descriptiveNote/p and other locations.
Any idea what might be going on? I've tried both the rld and xsd versions of the schema. I do have kind of an old version of Oxygen, but everything else about the schema seems to work OK.
