Duplicate IDs when Saving as XML

I do indeed use the 'save as' xml feature, my documents are not structured.

Thanks for the suggestion Rick. Unfortunately I'm getting invalid xml
generated by Mif2Go.  

<code80> </code80>

Viewed in Internet Explorer it says "Reference to undefined entity 'nbsp'."
I guess I shall have to email their technical support and see if they can
help. I don't know why there's a non-breaking space there as there isn't in
the Frame document. It's just a blank line in a table, that the Frame XML
treats as follows:

<Code8-0>
<A ID="pgfId-5736251"></A>
</Code8-0>
