PC to Mac file

[Bobby Smith]

I have a word file from a PC that has a screen capture. They put a white box
over some names and typed new names on top of that. On the PC side it looks
and prints good, but when I open it on the Mac the white box goes
transparent. I see and print both sets of names. When I open the file I get
a graphics filter converting Meta file. I use a G4 with Office:Mac v.X .


Hope you can help.

Thanks Bobby

Hi Bobby:
Yeah, that's a known bug. Edit the boxes and apply a white fill.

Cheers
