I am inclined to trust this, but reall experience may suggest that it >is not so easy! 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. -- Peter
