XPS back to Excel

[Komonoway]

I get that the .xps format is supposed to be for securing documents so that
they're only printable. But occasionally, and I don't think I'm the only
one, I'll get an .xps that I do need to edit. How can I convert an XPS into
word, or excel or whatever, and not have it be completely formatted out of
wack?

If there's a file you need to edit, you should work with the original file,
not converting an .xps. Think of them as the Microsoft version of a .pdf
file.
