you can try to open it in text edit, but if you bunked the file from your mac to window transfer its just fucked... i always had problems with word tho... just the encoding was always off because of certain things..

When you save the doc on Apple you can check compatibility. Make sure it's saved as Word Document.

i tried to open on notepad. still not reading..theres got to be some kind of apple encoding helper via windows ms office. or probably not.

see..i saved it as .doc . i thik what messed it up is when i sent it using apple mail. i know it asks sometimes to make the file windows friendly. probably adds the encoding on it so i can open it on windows microsoft office.

[polishmike]

if you really need it you can email it to me and i can check it out. maybe the file is corrupted?

can you post the error message that you get when you're trying to open it in windows?

neway y u aint just save as plaintext then add formattin???

[polishmike]

It should open fine so maybe it's corrupted. I would try to open it again on a Mac and save it as a new file.

[cuddlysheep]

yeah i think i just have to go home ,convert it and come back to work..darn..thanks for the help though.

[bluespring]

[cuddlysheep]

hi blue,thanks just tried it, its still not doing the trick..

[cuddlysheep]

yeah i shouldve done that..but stuck wiht these files.. ,lesson learned.

nooooooo

do what i do, just copy and paste that shit into the email body, then open that email at work and paste it again.

minor twitches with the formatting and any images on it can be saved onto photobucket/flickr/etc.
