Validate XML Using Open XML Package Editor

Had this issue on VS 2012, never found a solution, using VS 2019 Community now.

When using the Open XML Package editor to edit the custom UI XML in a Word template the Intellisense is really great but it doesn't validate as I type. If I copy all the code from the template XML file and paste it into a new XML file it validates.

I'm guessing this is because VS isn't "seeing" it as just an XML file when editing within the template package.

Is there a way to force VS to validate the code that's on the screen so I don't have to copy and paste it out to validate?

Thanks!

    I will post it there, thanks.

    Are you saying that VS is validating on the fly for you?
