Hi Tony -
I don't know what type of "solution" you're hoping for, but if you want a
Mac application to open .mdi files I'd suggest you not hold your breath:-)
The .mdi format is a proprietary MS format that *was* used only by the MS
Do***ent Imaging utility supplied with certain editions of Office 2003.
Not
only is that format not sup****ted by other Windows apps, but the program
itself has been abandoned by MS. It isn't included in Office 2007, nor is
there any real equivalent. Even its "replacement" - Windows Fax & Scan -
supplied with Windows Vista can't open .mdi files. In fact it can't open
*any* files other than those scans & faxes it acquires.
The only option I know of is to find a PC with the MSDI app, open the .mdi
files there & Save As .tif, then bring the .tif files back to the Mac.
BTW - Resurrecting dead threads is generally not a productive means of
getting an answer... If for no other reason potential respondents have no
idea what may have been covered in the other posts at the time. The only
reason I even looked at it is because I participated in the original
dialog.
