Retain XML comments in Word XML format Steve 12/16/2008 4:05:01 PM Hi All, I have saved a word document from Word 2003 in XML format. Then I went into the document with notepad and added some XML comments with the <!-- and --> tags. If I then bring the document up in Word, make a change and save it, the comments I entered in XML are removed. Is there a way to retain the comments I've entered? Thanks, Steve
