If you don't have Word on your PC, you won't be able to open it correctly. If all you need to do is print it, then on the Mac, go to File>Print and when the Print menu comes up, you should see a button that says PDF. Click on that and select Save as PDF or Print to PDF depending on what the choice is. You will get a copy of your document saved as a PDF. Now you can transfer it to the PC, and assuming you have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on your PC (if you don't, go to Adobe.com and download it), you can just print the PDF.
If you do have Word on the PC, but it's an earlier version than the one on your Mac, you can do a Save As on the Mac and select an earlier version of Word to save it as. Then you should be able to print that copy from your PC.
you will need to save the file as a, .XML document this is
a format any computer should be able to read with the correct software.
on a pc you save the file by selecting 'document writer' as the printer,
then print the file which actually creates the .XML file which you can transfer,
there must be a similar process for the mac
Hey there.
This seems to be a common problem.
If you havent tried it yet...*Change the extention your saving it under.* Microsoft updated its word program, it's automatic save is something other than DOC which not ALL computers recognize!
It may be the same for Microsoft Word to open up a program...Try saving it as a DocX or XML.
Or.
If you saved it as a (DocX) resave it as a (DOC). If this works, make sure before you send it to anyone else you change it back to a (DOC)
Keep it SIMPLE: E-mailing it to your self in the body of the E-mail.

you're able to try this with a thumb rigidity, yet once you will get right of entry to the internet you need to appear to putting your checklist into an workplace stay Workspace. workplace stay Workspace is nearly a digital thumbdrive, and by using putting your records in a Workspace they're scanned, meaning you will no longer flow the virus out of your workstation to the MAC. yet another benefit is that once the checklist is stored on your on line Workspace, you will get right of entry to it from any pcs, no longer basically the Mac, and you do no longer ought to hold a USB rigidity with you everywhere you pass.

I'm sure there's a way without converting it to text, but that would seem to be the simplest.
Convert it to text email it, open it save it again as a doc.
If you're like me you'll need to do a bit of editing before saving it
