[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1432305, member: 24098"] Do the documents typically require editing at the office once you've finished your work at home? If not, I would just convert them to PDF to send to your boss. PDF, by definition, is not an editable format. Yes, there is software that can allow you to make manipulations, but Adobe themselves recommend that you maintain an original in an editable format and convert only when the document is in a final form. In terms of versions of Office, yes, typically when you've got equivalent versions (Office 2010 for Windows and Office 2011 for Mac), you stand a better chance of maintaining integrity. Worst case scenario is you might load up a Windows virtual machine under VMWare Fusion/Parallels/Virtual Box and install the Windows version of Office on it. [/QUOTE]
