[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 745734, member: 50033"] I have used Office 2004 & 2008 without any Mac vs PC Office issues. I do use a lot of forms in Word documents. I tried Pages, but had problems with the formatting of the forms. What format are you saving the Mac Office files in? You should be using 'Save as' and under Format selecting "Word 97-2004 Document .doc". The default .docx format that it saves them in is just about useless to most people. Also, check Word > Preferences > Compatibility. There may be something in there that is checked/unchecked which is causing your grief. Finally, under Word > Preferences > Save you can change the default file type to Word .doc so that you don't have to keep changing the type every time. [/QUOTE]
