No, strictly speaking, there is no way to configure XXE to ignore non-existent referenced documents. However, if you configure XXE to always use XInclude[*] instead of references to external entities when creating modular documents, XXE will succeed in opening broken modular documents. In the case you describe, it will just report an XInclude error. [*] Use Options|Options, Edit section, "Type of document reference" = "XInclude".
