Nolan ,I wonder, can't you just work on your MacI write adocument
usually in text edit which produces a rtf, or rtfd file. Then before
saving it i just click and chose the format I want and send all your
files in word? I get all kinds of files, all in word. I easily open
them on my Mac and simply send files back in word.
Of course I am such a novice and don't deal with editors and the
like, but it seems to me if you can send them a word file, they
should be able to read it. Whether they are capable of grasping it,
might be a thing to consider.
I run Tiger and Leopard, both machines work with this quick change.

After years of obstinately sticking with poor old outdated
AppleWorks, I've finally decided I have to face reality and switch
to a more current app, esp. one that's compatible with (ugh) PCs,
since I do a lot of work with editors on PCs; the Mac to PC
"translation" is time-consuming and uncertain. Checking around,
I've found Office 2008 for Mac Home, which has Word, Entourage,
PowerPoiint, and Excel (although I really only need Word and
occasionally, PowerPoint). All for $109.49. I'm wondering if
anyone in the Group has had experience with this app and can offer
advice. Also, I'm told that while the Mac platform is not likely
to get a virus (as we all know), the Office part needs virus
protection. Recommendations for that?
TIA
