Re: PC to MAC Conversion

That's important, in the Save box on Word for Mac there is the option 
to save in a variety of Word versions. The trick is to make sure 
never to save your file in a version newer than that in use on the 
the other machine.

Having said that, I've sent Word 98 files to a wide variety of people 
and never had anyone say they can't read them.

On Zip disks, my Mac can read and save to PC formatted zip disks 
which is handy.
