My wife uses WP 6 for Windows on a Tosh and I use WP 3.5 on a Mac; I have
found no trouble in interchanging files between these. Sorry- no experience
with WP 7.

I find WP 3.5 on the Mac to be a *very* nice program to use- very much
better than WP on the PC. It also handles Word files very well (with a few
exceptions involving fully tabled documents with footers). The only
exception to this is (of course) Word 7 which breaks the (otherwise very
good) filter. But for Word 7 all it requires is an old copy of Word 5.1 for
the Mac to help with the conversion.
