Re: Mac to Win PC file question



Sorry Ray:

Can't answer that one until you tell us the versions of the software
involved. Generically, you need to ask her what format she sent you, and
install the appropriate applications.

Hint: Whatever it was, it was NOT "QuickTime" :-) She needs to tell you
what the file format is that she sent you, and you need to tell us what
you're using.

With the amount of information you sent so far, the only thing we can say is
"Buy a Mac..." :-)

Cheers

Recently had a friend send me a Word file of some lyrics to a song
she had written and used in a QuickTime movie she made.

When I opened the file, it displays a white box, then a "letter", then
a white box, "letter", etc, along with other "hieroglyphics". Makes
for tough reading.

What can I do on my end to have it appear in a normal text mode ?

thanks
