<xsl:text>&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text> when transformed still places

into my output when viewed with a browser.

Because you didn't add the attribute disable-output-escaping="yes" to
the xsl:text node.  You did not read the FAQ or you would know that and
also why you don't want to do that.

What am I doing wrong?

You're not doing your reading and you're not listening.

If your PHB is demanding an entity reference in the output of your
transformation, get him to post and we'll put him straight too.

Mike,

I actually read all the posts you directed me to. Thank you for your input. Solved the problem yesterday. I have included snippets of my code below.

xml input file
<snippet..>

<!DOCTYPE WITAGLIB [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
]>

xsl file
<snippet..with OBJECT template>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="text() = '&#160;'">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</td>
XHTML output file:
<snippet..>

<td style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;text-align:right;background-color:#FFFFFF;height:20px;width:98px;">$4.00</td>

<td style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:8pt;text-align:right;background-color:#FFFFFF;height:20px;width:98px;">&nbsp;</td>
