Mac to PC Conversion

[Petert]

Have had a Mac .doc Word file sent to me via email. It opens cleanly on 2 of the 3 computers I use but the third cannot translate it. It comes up with the Select Encoding screen. The 2 systems that work are running Win2K and Office XP patched to the SP-2 level and the system that does not work is running a fully patched Windows XP and Office XP to SP-2. All systems have deen installed with all converters (as far as I can see). The one that does not work I isntalled as a custom install and I installed everything except the online tutorials.

The systems that work recognise that there is a data and a resource fork.

Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

Hi Petert,

I think there's a "Detect and Repair" feature in Office XP. Try giving that
a chance to fix the non-working installation.
