Wow - timely! I was just reading this when a friend rang me. His daughter had saved some work at school in Office 2007 and emailed it to herself at home, where they have Office 2004. He said they couldn't open it in Office 2004 and did I have any tips? I told him to highlight the file, Apple+i to open File Info, see the bit where it says 'Open With' (Office 2004 was the current selection), see what else was available, he said 'Text Edit', so chose that and hey presto, the file opened. Copy and paste into Word from 2004 and she was off again. This was on a (cough) Mac. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
