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:

    There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
