Is it possible to convert PC templates to the Mac?

[cbathel]

I own copies of both Office 2004 for the mac and Office 2000 Small
Business for the PC. I want to keep using the Legal Pleading Document
Wizard that came with 2000 on the PC on my Mac, but I can't get the Mac
version to load it properly. Is there any way to get it to load and
work on the Mac, or am I stuck with having to keep the PC around so I
can keep using this one template?

Or... maybe... is there a way to do this? (If there is no solution for
the above problem)

I have some numbers and text that I want to be repeated in the margin
on every page, which I want locked down to a particular place on the
page and is not deletable. So, if I were to type beyond the first page,
the second page would have the same numbers and floating text boxes in
the same position as the first, and if I were to delete all the written
text off the page, the page would go away like normal?

Templates are cross-platform. But wizards aren't templates. So you can't
use a wizard on the Mac.

If you can create a doc from the wizard and save it as a template, you would
be able to use that on the Mac. I don't know how the wizard works, whether
it would let you do that or whether that would hold the formatting you need.
I think it might, as I have heard of people doing that with the fax wizard.

Hi,

The legal pleading wizard for Macintosh was included with Office 98. I
tried to get it to work in Office 2004, but no dice. Perhaps Microsoft
will consider updating this useful tool.

Meanwhile, you can use Pleading Template 4.0 which is available from
this web site:
