I try to open an .xml.txlf file (supplied in this format by my customer), but I get the following message: 
 "There is an error in XML document (1, 62)" 
 
 Can someone help me?

Character 62 would be the 's' in xmlns. Coralie

Hi Coralie Mergault , 
 Probably there is a weird character in the 1st row, column 62. I you can open the file with an Editor like Notepad++, maybe you will be able to spot it and edit it somehow and try again. 
 If you can&rsquo;t do it, maybe you can post here the file, at least the 2 first lines, and I can have a look. 
 Otherwise you can tell your client. It&rsquo;s his/her responsibility to send properly formatted files.
