A friend is about to strat work on a project involving several others who all use Wordperfect in a variety of PC DOS and Windows versions. Neither of us have ever used WP, and she would prefer to use her mac (performa 5500) to do most of the work. IF she buys a copy of the latest WP for mac (3.5?) has anyone direct experience of interchanging these with the PC versions? She will clearly have to involve herslef with converting between earlier WP versions, but are the current versions very interchangeable or are there any problems she should foresee. The budget would certainly allow her to buy a PC, but she would prefer not to. She could if necessary do a final formatting job on a PC once the job is done. I'd be grateful for some help on this one. Corel's website does not go into great detail but merely claims that 3.5 can handle WP version 7 for Windows 95. I am inclined to trust this, but reall experience may suggest that it is not so easy! thanks, Dave A letter always arrives at Dave@zizek.demon.co.uk its destination D.Wilson@mmu.ac.uk J Lacan http://s13a.math.aca.mmu.ac.uk
