Re: Claris Macintosh to MS Word on the IBM PC

[Rick Bishop <bishop@imsday.com>]

Karen and LM_Netters:  On the Mac save your claris word processor
                       file with this procedure:

1. Save, As,
2. Hold mouse down on Pop-Up button for File types.
3. Scroll down to RTF file
4. Type MY_FILE.RTF for the file name.
   (You must include the .RTF)
     Important:-)  The file name MUST be in DOS 8.3 format.
     That's and eight character file name with a 3 letter
     extension after the period. Long file names won't make
     the trip.
5. Pop in a PC formatted disk.
6. The disk directory automatically opens in the save window.
   (That's why I like Macs)
7. Click Save.
8. Tell your boss to open the file with MS Word by double-clicking
   the file in Explorer view.

The other option on the pop-up is to save as a Microsoft Word 2.0
PC file.  But you must remember to add - dot.doc (.doc) to your
8 character file name.
