The new version of WORD FOR WORD (v. 5.0) does this beautifully! I use it on a regular basis and am impressed with the results so far. It comes with a Mac Stamper which allows you to convert from DOS (WP5.1, MSWord, etc.) to Mac MSWord or MacWrite. After copying the converted files to the Mac, you stamp them and then the document file can be opened simply by clicking on its icon. Going from Mac to PC is even simpler. Copy your Mac MSWord file to a DOS disk (most newer Macs recognize Dos Disks), take the file to a PC with WORD FOR WORD on it and convert directly. The only caveat I've found so far is that the Mac files should have names which comply to DOS filename structure. The nice thing about WFW is that you can do multiple files at a time also. This program has saved us lots of time - it's worth a look if you have to do this type of conversion regularly. a satisfied user -- Joel Jackson Bitnet: JOEL@GACVAX1.BITNET Academic Computing Dept.
