Open XML Paper Specification - Versioning Transition

Versioning Transition

There are two flavors of the OpenXPS file format on the market. The original document writer printed to .xps in Windows 7 and lesser (i.e., Windows Vista and Windows XP). Beginning with Windows 8, the document writer defaulted to the .oxps format. The two are not the same. Trying to open .oxps files in Windows 7 or lesser without a .oxps-to.xps converter will result in an error. Instead, use Internet Explorer 10 (the finished candidate), as it will read both formats natively.

Famous quotes containing the word transition:

    “The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
    —Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
