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,
