Try Wordpad instead of Notepad. It keeps more of the formatting so it is easier to read and edit.

There are also many xml editors out there. I also use XML Marker.
Here is the website for it.

ehh wordpad is horable.
It adds extra lines that are hidden. Fourtanatly they wont be read in xml but if your doing html in it, it can cause alot of problems

Notpad, turn off word wrap, and full screen.

I use Object Edit from Stardock

It is a lightning fast text editor with syntax highlighting and more and is available as part of the Object Desktop package.
