HIT: Claris to IBM Conversion

[Evie Funk <funkx005@GOLD.TC.UMN.EDU>]

Here are the steps I developed (with your help) for converting ClarisWorks
text documents to IBM computers.

1) Insert an IBM formatted disk into the Mac computer.  (Mac Power PCs will
read IBM formatted disks, but IBMs won't read Macs)
2) When saving the document, go to Save As... and at the bottom Save screen
select RTF (Rich Text Format).
3) On the IBM computer, start the word processing program.  Open the file
with the desired application running - it should convert automatically (We
found the best conversion, including formatting, using this method).
4) Formatting may be different, but just proceed to work on your document.
You can quickly fix the formatting when you convert it back to ClarisWorks.
