The format is very strange, fonts look like very coarse bitmap and the whole document is almost unreadable, at least in Word 2003 and Word XP under Windows XP SP2.

The font used is Segoe but it does not appear in font substitutes list and I also don't know where to get this ttf.

Any idea how to improve the readability of this document?

Regarding autographs, I can't help you much there. Regarding an updated .XPS version, I'm checking on that...

Thanks, it took a few minutes to import into OOo (OpenOffice.org) on SuSE 10.0, but once it was in there I converted it to a PDF and now it's only 17.7MB in size. No problem with the fonts either. And I don't have to be afraid of the recently discovered unpatched vulnerabilities in Word.

I liked this better in the other format, it's very compressed in Word and not all the formatting shows up.

Can you publish this in pdf?

re: It's back !!! - The Book of Windows Vista - download now

Regarding creating a .pdf, this isn't something we normally do on microsoft.com. You could purchase one of the conversion products at adobe.com or try http://createpdf.adobe.com/?v=AFP

Sorry

regarding the fonts in the document, try opening with Word installed on Vista - there is a bunch of fonts used in the doc that aren't in Windows XP

Could you recommend a good XPS reader/viewer which I could use. I've searched and supposedly WinFX has one, but I can't seem to find out where it is installed to.

Thanks for the help!

Regarding the XPS reader, see http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/viewxps.mspx

The XPSViewer is already installed within Windows Vista Beta 2. At least it was for me.

FYI, Under my Windows Vista Beta 2 install, if I double click the .XPS document, it tries to launch Word2007 and fails.

However, if I right mouse click the document and tell it to open with the XPSViewer, it launches IE7 and runs the viewer correctly.
