Office 2007 New Technologies

Computer Repair and Consulting Service TIPS

Office 2007 includes an option for saving files in XML Paper Specification (XPS), a format developed by Microsoft that offers XML-based, paginated device-independent files, enabling you to share formatted and finalized documents in a secure way with others who may or may not be working with the same software you use.

XPS Fact Sheet

■ An XPS document is a platform-independent file that preserves page by page the final presentation of a document as it will appear when printed.
■ XPS is developed by Microsoft and is similar to PDF (developed by Adobe Systems), but is XML-based.
■ The XPS format is available as an option in Office Word 2007, Office Excel 2007, Office PowerPoint 2007, Office Access 2007, Microsoft® Office Publisher® 2007, and Microsoft® Office Visio® 2007.
■ The XPS format is secure, and the content is fixed—no macros or scripts are preserved in the format.
■ XPS includes support for digital signatures and is compatible with Windows Rights Management for additional protection.
■ The XPS format preserves live links within documents, making files saved in this format fully functional as live online documents.
■ Users of the Microsoft Office system applications with XPS support can create XPS documents using the familiar Save As procedure available in the File menu.
■ The XPS Document Viewer comes with Microsoft Windows Vista and also is available for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
