Hello,

I have searched for clues, and while I've found excellent background
(thanks especially to John McGhie for his thoughtful response
s) as to why these compatibility issues exist, I now need to get things
working; the rubber has, as they say, met the road.

I have documents that must be electronically published. I'm not at my
home computer right now, so I'm unable to attempt various w
orkarounds. I'm running: Office 2004 for the Mac, and I'm attempting
to view with a WinTel version of Word: Word for Office XP (W
ord 2002). The images are embedded by dragging design elements from
OmniGrapher into Word.

What is the recommended workaround for this?

1) Is there any way to get images to display properly in a WinTel
version of Word? I've actually got the Quicktime/Decompressor message
that I've read a bit about, but I'm sure it's all related to that way
in which Office 2004 (for OSX) handles images, per your previous
message. For details, read message: Jan 30th 2005, Re: Images from
Browsers, among other threads I find on the Net.

2) For those who simply need a read-only view of my documents, will
exporting to PDF do the trick? I've got both the full version of Adobe
Acrobat, and of course, Quartz's inherent export feature.

I would rather not have to perform screen dumps.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt
