- The mac version of word saves its pictures in rtf files using the PICT
- format. The windows version saves its pictures in rtf files using the
- TIFF format. So, while text will go actoss fine, grahpics will not.
- The way to transfer both text and graphics from Mac word to W4W is to
- use MacWord 5.0 to save the file as a w4w file. MacWord 5.0 will read
- W4W files in native format.
-
- Note that this translation is also not 100% fool proof. I have had a
- case where the graphic did not transfer...
