hi techies :)
I am facing a issue regarding the usage of special characters in teh wordml doc..
When i insert a special char in the xml tags and save. When open teh doc with mocrosoft word 2003 , it showing me a error "invalid xml character"
Hi Vinod,
Can you please tell me which is the special character you are trying to insert into the document?
hi technie..
The special char is inserted from the ms word symbol options.
I tired to paste it here , but it failed to paste.
u can find the char in the symbol options , (font-asian text and subset is box drawings.)
Please help me out!!!
thanks
The best way to proceed - manually insert that special character into a Word document, and then look at the markup that Word generated. That will tell you exactly how to insert the special character.

hi Eric,
Thanks for Suggestion...
I have tried it out.
when i insert the spl characters in ms word and save it as .xml
When i saw the markup it doesnt appear in the markup.When i tried to open it again as ms word , it was missing . I am not able to understand what is happening actaully.
Note. Go to ms word , while pressing ALT key and type 0025 from the num pad , to u see teh spl character.
Hi vinodprakash,
The character that corresponds to decimal 25 is a control character (end of medium). I don't think Word should be expected to keep that character any more than it should be expected to keep a backspace. When I type that character, in Word 2010 Word displayed something that looked like the Unicode U+251C character. (I'm not sure why.) If that's indeed what you want, maybe you should use it instead.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi Vinodprakash,
Jim is correct. It would be helpful if you explain what you are trying to do at a higher level. What is your scenario?
