| 1139485 | 2010-09-25 01:16:00 | Probably part of Office, just leave them there | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1139486 | 2010-09-25 05:53:00 | MS XPS afaik is maybe a update of Windows could be ... I know that W7 without installing office installs XPS, it's like MS's own version of PDF but they don't formats between each other. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1139487 | 2010-09-25 06:16:00 | They print to a file rather than a physical printer. They do no harm so leave them there. They are not part of Office. I know this as I've spent most of the day Installing Vista on a new hard drive and I have not yet got arount putting Office on it yet. Had enought to do downloading 102 updates plus SP 1 and 2. Next job is to make a new Vista DVD with all updates slipstreamed in. :) |

| 1139488 | 2010-09-25 20:22:00 | MS XPS Document writer is Microsofts version of PDF files. The vista version was a bit flaky but the one in W7 is fine. I didn't think it was implemented in XP. It is very useful for developers designing printed reports as you can see what the result will be without using a lot of paper. Anything you would normally print can be sent to an XPS file and stored on your disk for future reference. To view the output you need a program called XPS viewer that comes with Windows. |
