Thank you, Bonnie. I will bookmark the page for this Notepad++ (it has to be good since it is plus, plus <g>).
For the XML file that I needed to type I ended up using VS 2005 (as Viv suggested). The IntelliSense was very helpful as it saved a lot of typing.
>I know Viv already gave you a good answer to use VS, but I just wanted to plug a Notepad utility I use, that I really like. It's called Notepad++ (
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) ... I use it for just about everything (well, that's probably an exaggeration, but I *do* use it a lot).

>>Hi,
>>
>>I need to create an XML file by typing the content from a book that I follow. The XML is somewhat involved. I am using a Notepad to type in the content (if you have better suggestions that don't involve learning complicated tools, please let me know). But I also want to be sure that once I am done entering the content I didn't make a typo somewhere. How can I validate this XML file?

>>TIA.
