XML files contain a Document Type Descriptor (DTD) which defines its type. Evidently, the DTD for your xml file says it's type isn't one Word can open. One could open it as a plain text file, but all you'd see is the xml code - which I don't suppose would be very useful. You need to use whatever application this xml file type is supposed to be opened with.

Okay got it. Thank you again for all your help.

So I download different XMLs from online examples and they were working.

One last question regarding my other XML files that I had and weren't working do you know of this code within an xml. When I delete the !DOCTYPE ddn the macro works, not 100% because it doesn't display it neatly but it does work. Do you know of a work around from the !doctype command that these xmls file have.


"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE ddn> "

EDIT*

Now I'm noticing a trend. It always displays an error as shown above the picture I posted yesterday when it has the " !DOCTYPE "
But when I delete it off the code on the XML it converts it into a word document but it doesn't convert it perfectly. Any idea of how to get the macro working with this type of XML code?

XML file.txt

If it helps I attached the code of the XML file you just have to convert it back to XML format. Thank you
