Re: Compatibility Issues between Mac and PC

by Phillip Jones <pjones1@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 4, 2008 at 08:28 PM

Unless your using some of the new exotic features designed into 2008 
just go to Preferences >Compatibility and set 97-2004 setting.
Or when you choose to save the do***ent do *Save As...* and scroll down 
list until you see 97-2004 (or some variation on this. It means from 
Office 97 PC to Office 2004 Mac)

Then save your do***ent. It means you colleagues, are using version that 
are not either Office2008 Mac or Office 2007 PC. Both those version save 
by default in the new oop-XML format. (docx, xlsx, pptx).
Now if you have added something to the database/spreadsheet that uses 
one or more of the new 2008 features they will be lost in the 
translation. So my advise would be save copy in the old format after you 
have finished and see if everything you put in stay in. If so send to 
your colleagues, they should have no problem

my co-workers would actually be able to open them - not only would it not
let them save, it would also tell them it was protected and that they
needed to enter in the password. And like I said I never protected the
files in the first place.
