Help editing XML with MS XML Notepad 2007

[Acronym2]

I am using Microsoft XML Notepad 2007 to edit unit xml files. I change a path and save the XML(or even if I save without any changes) the game gives me an error at start-up when it tries to load that particular XML and tells me the error is in the very first line of the XML document.

Do any of you who use Microsoft XML Notepad 2007 know whats happening? I think that I'm just missing something very simple which must be done when using this particular XML editor.

I would just go with notepad++

it works great.

I created an XML editor just for Civ4. I think it's easier to use that either of those programs. If you're interested in trying it, just follow the link in my signature.

XML Notepad saves with incorrect encoding. I would recommend General Tso's XML editor. Fortunately, you can take the XML files you modified, open them and save them in General Tso's editor and they will work again.

I used General Tsao's XML Editor. I suspected XML Notepad might be adding something to the file......however, I had the same thing happen with plain notepad. I probably had the line written wrong and it caused the problem.
