Trying to preserve whitespace in XML File

[Steve Novak]

I've written an XML Schema with the following code:
<xs:element name="Instructions" minOccurs="0" >
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:whiteSpace value="preserve" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
I am trying to preserve the linefeed and carriage return characters in my
document but when I go to save them as XML documents (data only) the
characters are gone. Any ideas?

Hi Steve,

You may want to also post this in the Office XML
newsgroup (link below). 'Pretty print' XML isn't
always a default in Office apps.

Thanks! I think I found out that I wasn't generating the codes so nothing to
save.

I'll try your "other news group" suggestion.
