[QUOTE="mac57, post: 347738, member: 17052"] Hi mab - Welcome! I use Office: mac and exchange files regularly with my Windows work PC (my company is not as enlightened as I am! :dive: ). I have had no issues at all in either direction (create on PC, open on Mac OR create on Mac and open on PC). X11 is an alternate windowing system that is used in unix and Linux. There is a port of X11 that can run under Mac OS X, which allows you to use unix and Linux apps that were coded for X11 windowing vs. Mac OS X windowing. Mac OS X's X11 works well. I run a number of Linux X11-based programs (OpenOffice is one such program - that is why X11 was mentioned) and they work flawlessly. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
