Error message when exporting to MS Project
I am getting this error message when I export to XML and try to open it in MS Project:
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Hi,
The error is due to the way Microsoft Project is designed - multi-lines are not allowed in text fields. By the error it says is due to the description in the Task field. If there are multi-lines there, you will need to make it single line text before you can export and import in Microsoft Project.
