You can't open an OfficeXP word-processing document in Word3, I would bet. There is a point where backward compatibility is an issue even for Micro$oft.
But there are huge internal changes from version to version of Finale, and the internal data structure is so vastly different from a word-processing document that to compare them is very unfair. In any event, complain all we want to (if we want to, I for one have no problem in the lack of backward compatibility), we DO have to accept the fact. It would appear that midi is the only way, until the Mac2003 is released. Eric Dannewitz wrote: > I am an owner of both the PC and Mac versions of Finale.
