[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Word conversion IBM PC->Mac

yeh@church.cs.unc.edu (Chin-Ho Yeh) (11/20/90)

  I transferred a IBM PC MS Word file to a Mac using Mac's conversion utility.
I ran into several anomalies:

	o After I read in one file and saved it back, some other files can no 
	  longer be recognized by Mac's MS Word, that is, they don't show 
	  on the open file list. But they are still on the disk.
 
	o The footnote numbering is no longer correct. What I have got, for
	  example, is 1,2,3,1,2...

  I am using MS Word 3.0 on IBM PC and 4.0 on Mac. Could anybody give me 
some hint about what might go wrong? Should the conversion be the possible
problem?

  Thanks in advance.
