Import Word documents from PC to Mac?

[ascott]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) I'm going from PC to Mac. I have placed all my Word docs into one folder and copied it to a flash drive. I now have that flash drive in the Mac. How do I import all my Word docs into Mac's Word?

Use the application called "Finder" to move the files from the flash
drive (you should see it on the list) onto the mac. I have a subfolder
under "Documents" called "Writing" which holds most docs. You could
perhaps do same.

I am very new to Mac. Did you create a folder called "Writing"? If so, how did you get the folder from the PC, with all it's documents, into the folder called "Writing"?

The Windows & Mac operating systems are not all that different with regard
to basic file & folder management. Some of the terminology is different,
such as 'Finder' in Mac OS as opposed to the Windows 'Explorer', but the
methods of creating folders, moving/copying files, etc. are virtually
identical... And none of those operations are specific to Mac Office.

It would be well worth the time to familiarize yourself with some of the
basics of the Mac OS. Start with Mac Help & follow the links in the main
Help window. Additionally you'll find useful info here:

You may also want to have a look at this page from the Apple web site aimed
specifically at former Windows users:

As far as using your files once you have them moved to your Mac, there is
nothing you need to do other than Open the files in the respective programs
just as you would in the PC version. If you run up against an specific
issues don't hesitate to ask.

Welcome to the world of Mac!

Create a new folder on the Mac wherever you want it. Select all of the files in
the flash drive and drag them to the folder. That should copy them to the Mac.
Then just double click a Word file to start using it.
