Hi Ted,
I don't know why your plist is not loaded anymore but you really shouldn't put files that represent "internal" data into your public WebServerResources folder! Not only is this a security risk but what do you do when you decide to use separate web- and application servers, then you probably have no access to your WebServerResources from your app.
Put these files into Resources and use the good ol' WOResourceManager to retrieve them.

In tracking down the problem, I discovered that the NSLog file was returning "the dict = null" as the log message. I re-read the docs on ERXDictionaryUtilities.dictionaryFromPropertyList and it should work, but I also read somewhere about localized and non localized files. On a lark I copied my ExcelStyles into a newly created English.lproj folder in my Resources folder and voila the log reports my dict is loaded.
