Since MS-Word on the Mac can Save and Open files for/from MS-Word DOS version, we've being trying to accomplish this, but unfortunately without any success. We brought both the document and the style sheet from the DOS-version to the Mac, and it looked like the Mac version could do something with it; i.e. it opened the document, but there was no resemblence to the original document. Rulers with originally no indent, came up with an indent of about 50 cm., vertical spacing of 12 points turned out to be more than 1400 points etc. In other words a great mess. Although I should ad that the text was transferred completely (as far as I could see). The versions we use over here are : MS-Word 3.11 for the PC and MS-Word 3.01 for the Mac. Anybody with the same problem or am I doing something stupid? What about version 4.0 for the PC (should be out here soon)? -- Kees van't Hoff
