1. Save a backup copy of the following file:
C:Program FilesXMetaL 5.1AuthorDITAXACstasktask_ditabase.ctm

2. Open it in any text editor.

3. Find the line of code that looks like this (below).  In my copy of XMetaL it's at line# 1769.  (This is XMetaL Author Enterprise 5.1, but I fiddle all the time and I don't remember if I have made other changes to my CTM before.)  Also note that this is a single line of text:

]]>

4. Change it to this:

]]>

5. Restart XMetaL.

You'll probably have to re-do this procedure whenever you upgrade your version of XMetaL, as the installer will probably overwrite it.
