Dave,

my input xml file has <OBJECT attribute=x..blah>&nbsp;</OBJECT>

I added to my xml input file <!DOCTYPE nbsp [<!ENTITY nbsp "&nbsp;">]> 
right before my root element declaration
<WITAGLIB xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\DPXML\wiservice.xsd"> now when I open 
my xml file I don't get undeclared entity....nbsp.. Great

How do I declare this same doctype in my stylesheet that already has my 
xsd declared?
