XML Corruption in Dreamweaver MX 6.1

[pain4u]

It appears that Dreamweaver is attempting to rewrite code in my XML document. The problem is fixed if the XML document is not well-formed because Dreamweaver stops whatever it is doing if the XML is not valid. -- Is there any REAL way to prevent Dreamweaver from parsing any code in my XML other than this?

I already have code-rewriting disabled for the .xml extension, and that does not fix the problem. There seems to be some invisible characters in the code that causes Dreamweaver to parse the file. I am using UTF-8 encoding but the entire document does not appear to be UTF-8 because of this problem.

For example, if I convert the file to UTF-8 in Microsoft Word as Plain Text, the problem also goes away. I just want to figure out why Dreamweaver has a problem with the code, it should not even touch any of it. It is still a valid XML document in any case, completely viewable in IE (until of course DW attempts to rewrite).

- do u have to use DW to edit XML...?
try resetting the file associations of DW with XML (in windows not in DW) then setting simple editor like notepad.exe to be default XML editor
