    Installing this add-on does not give Office 2007 the ability to edit XPS documents, only save out as XPS.

    For example, I used the XPS Printer in Windows 7 to save the results of a report to XPS. I then tried to use Office 2007 to add additional content to the report and Office 2007 is unable to open it. It gives a “cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents”.

    I see my Save as PDF or XPS option and have used the PDF option numerous times. In case it was some wierd formatting issue with the XPS Printer, I opened Office, typed in “test”, then saved as XPS. It opened up with the viewer just fine after saving, but then when I try and re-open this xps file with Office I get the same “cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents” message.
