[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1432310, member: 24098"] In that case, you're going to want to keep them in Word format. Also, make sure you're saving the documents in the newer .docx format, and not the older .doc (used in versions of Office prior to 2007). Generally, Office for Windows comes out first, then for Mac the subsequent year. So, Office 2003 for Windows is of the same generation and feature set as Office 2004 for Mac. Same goes for Office 2007 & Office 2008 - and finally Office 2010 & Office 2011. Office 2013 will be debuting in a few months, and you can safely bet that Office 2014 for Mac will soon follow. There are many ways to run Windows and Windows software on your Mac. This thread is a good primer on the topic: [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/running-windows-anything-else-your-mac/114239-running-windows-mac-switchers-guide.html[/url] In short, your Mac is a PC like any other - it uses the same commodity hardware. The big difference is in the operating system and the software it runs. Virtualization products, Boot Camp and other tools help to bridge the gaps. There's no need to buy a Windows PC just to run Windows software. Your Mac can slum it with Windows if need be. [/QUOTE]
