Or simply get the file onto a PC: Word for Windows can open Mac Word files (if the appropriate conversion filter is installed). I take files back and forth between Word for the Mac and Windows fairly regularly, and I've found it works better to always keep the file in Mac format: apparently Word for Windows does better job of conversion than Word for Mac. The biggest problem will be getting the file onto the PC. There are basically two ways to do this. If possible, copy the file to a network server that serves both machines (e.g., Novell). Or, use a utility such as Apple File Exchange or PC Exchange to copy the Mac file to a DOS floppy disk. Ray ************************************************************* Raymond W.
