Lose XML Metadata in layout

[Egwin]

Hello Framers,
 
I am using FrameMaker 7.2 on Windows XP Pro platform.
My XML document contains a metadatablock (=element) with 42 subelements.
I want this element to stay in my structure, but i won't see the element(s)
in my layout.
I have to keep this element in my structure because i need the possibility
to export the XML from FM.
 
Can someone provide me with a solution?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Egwin
