Object/file embedding

I am having difficulty openning Word and PPT docs with embedded files from Windows. I cannot also insert a MAC PPT into another Mac PPT. Any thoughts or ideas out there? Thank you.

Our thoughts are largely unprintable.

Yes, you will get this trouble sometimes.

We are waiting for Microsoft to fix it.

Sorry

I don't know whether it's included in John's "anticipated fixes" but
files created by Mac PPt are simply not embeddable objects. They can't even
be embedded as icons or as links.

Wow, talk about feeling like the "poor country cousin" here. Is there another product with Exchange capabilities to recommend (other than MS or OpenSource)?

 

[John McGhie]

No: There are only two applications that will give you good Exchange
capabilities.

Entourage, and Outlook. None of the open source things will connect to an
Exchange server. Not "properly". Some of them will get email using the web
connector or IMAP if the server has that running.

But for contacts, meetings, appointments and calendars, you really need
Outlook (which runs just fine in Parallels). And if you are going to run
Outlook, you might as well run the rest of Office 2007.

That would deal nicely with your compatibility issues

Cheers
