Changes are not saved to an XPS document on a Windows Vista-based computer when you print to the XPS Document Writer, and you use the same file name as an open XPS document

On a Windows Vista-based computer, consider the following scenario:

  • An XPS document is open in the Microsoft XPS Document Writer or in the Microsoft XPS Viewer.
  • You use a text editor such as WordPad to change the document.
  • You use the XPS Document Writer to print to a new XPS document, and you use the same XPS document file name.

In this scenario, the changes to the new XPS document are not saved. And, there is no error message.

Note: The XPS technology is included with Windows Vista. However, the XPS Viewer and the XPS Document Writer can be installed in Windows XP. Therefore, this behavior occurs in Windows XP when Internet Explorer 6 is installed together with the XPS Viewer or the XPS Document Writer.
