WINDOWS

Summary:

Page 6 of the “Microsoft Word for Windows Installation Guide” states that Rich Text Format (RTF) should be used to transfer files between Word for the Macintosh and Word for Windows.

Word for Windows provides a Word for the Macintosh file converter that, for best results, should be used instead of the RTF format. You can choose to install the Word for the Macintosh file converter during the Word for Windows Setup program.

In the CONVINFO.DOC file provided with Word for Windows and installed in the WINWORD directory during setup, Microsoft supplies information about the limitations of the Macintosh file converter
