We are having difficulty reading MacWrite documents with MS Word.
The MacWrite documents were created with MacLink Plus copied from
a PC as WordStar files. MacWrite can read the files without problems,
but Word says it encounters problems (unspecified) and that it will
ignore part of the file (which it does). We can find no consistent
behaviour with what it is ignoring, and we have been able to read
other MacWrite documents without difficulty--we've only experienced
problems with these MacLink Plus created files. Does anyone have
any suggestions as to what might be the problem? Thanks.
