FYI
I decided to try out the XmlSpy Home Edition 2004.
I am running Windows XP operating system.
I wanted to test the "out-of-the-box" approach.
It was successful.
This time I didn't even choose the "Asign XSL".
I just clicked on the XSL button the tool bar and located the
stylesheet.
This is even better since XmlSpy re-writes your XML if you Assign XSL
to your file. I don't know if it puts hard returns in your text nodes
or not. I think that XMetal does.
Here is my task sheet (below).
Note: When I uninstalled the Enterprise Edition, there were still
folders with files in them. These have to be deleted by hand. If you
don't the new install will not work. The key file still exists even
after you uninstall. This key file can only work if you have the
first edition you installed. In this case it was the Enterprise
Edition. When you try to open XmlSpy, you get a notice that the key
doesn't work for XmlSpy Home Edition and are directed to download the
XmlSpy Home Edition. Well, doesn't make sense, but when you delete
the left over files, everything runs smoothly per the task sheet
below.
