    did you try to open in Internet Exploret 7 or 8?
    Or in MS Word?

    I assume opening in Notepad or plain text editor is not what you want, as it
    will show codes?

    An XML file is by definition "code". It's just data within tags.

    The only way to see if formatted differently would be if the publisher
    sent you a CSS or XSL file that can be hooked in to format it in a
    browser - or it may be intended for display in some customer program
    that is expected to know how to format the data. As an alternative,
    there could be an HTML file with some JS code that loads the proper
    modules to access the XML file and again, display it in a formatted
    fashion.

    Bottom line: looking directly at the XML file will always give you
    "code" - that's all it is.

    Hi,

    In addition to what Tae Song suggested, you may also try XML Notepad 2007
    from Microsoft.

    I'm not sure if it's Vista compatible (most likely it is) but it's Win 7
    compatible.

    Hope this helps and good luck.

    You are right and I guess the OP wishes to see the actual output instead of
    the codes, so there is no use for my suggested tool.

    Google, or search the Microsoft site, for an XML reader. I have had it on
    an earlier version of Windows, but I've forgotten where I got it.
