Create open close delimiters in XML created with Excel

[akai531]

I'm exporting an XML file from excel, and for empty elements, excel creates the field like this:\[code\]<my_empty_element/>\[/code\]However, my application needs it to be like this:\[code\]<my_empty_element></my_empty_element>\[/code\]Is there any way to have excel to do this, I'm trying to avoid workarounds like search/replace text on the XMl file?
