[QUOTE="mamaglee, post: 1432291, member: 265364"] Hello, I work a lot from home for a legal firm. I send my files to my boss at the office who has to reformat almost all the legal documents I create in MacBookPro Word for Mac when he opens them on his PC MS Word? Anyone know what's up with the compatibility between the MS Word programs on these two platforms? These legal docs are very specific formatting and they are always messed up, so he wants to buy me a Windows machine :Angry-Tongue: (I've been using Macs since mid 1990's and don't want a Windows machine). Does anyone know what the problems may be, and how to avoid them, and also, would Windows for Mac help and if so, then do I get MS Word for Windows to load on the Mac? Mac OS X 10.6 Word for Mac 2011, Version 14.2.2 Confused. Thanks, Mamaglee [/QUOTE]
