The following is an overview of how outlines and associated formatting are converted between Word for Windows version 2.0c and Word for the Macintosh version 5.1. Results obtained with different versions of either Word product may differ.

Table Key
  Y   - Supported in conversion. N  - Not supported in conversion. E  - Emulated in appearance with loss of actual format, or emulated with similar formatting feature. P  - Partially retained, or only retained in one of the two possible conversion avenues (opening from Word for Windows format in Word        for the Macintosh versus saving directly to Word for the         Macintosh format from within Word for Windows). N/A - Not applicable: The source product does not have this feature.

Because these field entries currently have no equivalent in Word for the Macintosh, outline numbering applied in this manner is                                  not retained.
