Try creating an expression rule with following definition keeping "ri!value" as text input and pass your XML in this rule before calling the smart service:

trim(
reduce(
fn!substitute,
ri!value,
merge(
{
"&",
"<",
">",
char(
34
),
char(
39
)
},
{
"&",
"<",
">",
""",
"'"
}
)
)
)

What is the code for your "expression rule for escaping xml characters"? toHtml() already converts "&" to "&", and if your expression rule does the same thing (which is my guess), you're probably ending up with "&amp;" which would render in your resulting Word file as literally "&" when you don't intend it to.

My overall recommendation would be to make sure the expression rule handles all text correctly, and get rid of toHtml() -- however one way or the other, you might need to make sure you're not doing things twice.

anupriyak0002 - You can try to replace "&" to "&" in the XML.
