Word2003 changes source code when saving xml-File

[champxy]

Hello.

My Problem is the following:

I have got a huge source code in xml (named as *.xml), using many wordml tags (such as <w:tr>,...).

When I open the file with Word2003, and write a short word into one free table field I klick on "save".

Word saves the change in my xml-file but:

my own source-code (very easy to read, with freelines and comments, breaks between lines and tabs,...) is beeing changed by word2003!
It transforms the code into one textblock. No more free spaces, only one unidentifying piece of letters.

Hope you could understand what I mean.

Is there something that I could do against that silly function from Word?

Thx 4 help.

Greetings from Germany.

Use a simple text editor such as notepad or textpad, or a proper xml tool like xmlspy - don't use a word processor !!!
