Answered in mail, but if anyone else gets the same problem:

The file was created with Word, and when saved as an XML file in Word, Word adds a large amount of XML tags for fonts, font sizes and so on.

The XML file must be created with an editor that saves the file exactly as it is displayed in the editor, without extra XML tags.

Hey there, thanks for your help! Also, just to clarify: I made this file in text edit but then saved it in XML format on text editor for Mac which creates the same problem. So I guess what I need to do is just save it as a text edit but put .xml at the end of the name.

Correction: using mac text edit, you do save this file as a .xml format but in order to avoid all the code indicating fonts you must go to the top menu bar and go to "Format" then select "make plain text" if the file is already in plain text you will not see this option.
