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:

    A transition from an author’s books to his conversation, is too often like an entrance into a large city, after a distant prospect. Remotely, we see nothing but spires of temples, and turrets of palaces, and imagine it the residence of splendor, grandeur, and magnificence; but, when we have passed the gates, we find it perplexed with narrow passages, disgraced with despicable cottages, embarrassed with obstructions, and clouded with smoke.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
