How to open XML files in IE instead of MS Word.?
I set MS Word to open xml files (message history in windows live messnger) and the text are all garbled. I want to know how to change it back..
I need to open the XML file in Internet explorer not in microsoft word.. the icon of the file shows "w", meaning, Word will open and not IE
open IE, drag n’ drop your xml to IE window.
to always open .xml in IE, right click your .xml file and select ‘open with’ .
Select ‘Choose Programs’ and find Internet explorer there.
Check ‘Always use the………. ‘ and press ‘OK’
If the ContentType header in your XML file contains the charset parameter, the XML file may open in Microsoft Internet Explorer instead of opening in the expected Microsoft Office program. This problem occurs if the ContentType header in the XML file includes the charset parameter. e.g. <%Response.ContentType = "text/xml%>
if you have this in the header you can open the file in the MS wor. The best way you can open the in word by "right clicking "it and say "open with" MS Word.
