How do I determine a template in which a document was saved by so.
I have a newsletter saved by someone else, in Word, on a MAC. How do I open
it in a readable form in Word in a PC? She says she saved it using a Word newsletter template, but doesn't know which one... |

Hi Mike-
As long as you're dealing with fairly current versions of Mac/PC Word, you _should_ be able to simply open the file as any other. The specific template it is based on will most likely make no difference. What does cause layout problems are fonts, printer drivers & other issues which may or may not be at play. For future reference, it is best if a copy the file created on the Mac is saved in a PC format first or emailed as a 'PC Friendly' attachment.

If double-clicking from the email program is not working:
Try saving the file to hard drive and use File | Open to open it. Leave File | Open set to "any word document". If you normally can see .doc extensions and this file doesn't have one, you may need to add it manually for double-clicking to work. PS. CyberTaz, it is not possible in MacWord 2004 to save a doc in WinWord format. There is no such thing, because it's been the same file format since Word 97, although certain features are version dependent, and Mac to windows might run into similar problems as Word 2003 to Word 97 would encounter. All the Mac user needs to do is make sure the file has a .doc extension and use windows-friendly email attachments, and not use periods or slashes in the filename.
