I am wondering if any information such as tags,labels or comments that have been created by a pc can be visible in mac finder. I can't see anything that seems to be compatible betweeen windows & mac.

Any ideas please

I'm afraid i'm not clear on what you mean... and judging from the lack of
replies nobody else is either

Can you clarify more specifically what it is that you're looking for?

No. Generally, Windows NTFS file properties are NOT replicated to the Mac,
in either FS+ (Apple) or UFS (Unix) file systems.

Windows XML tags do, of course, pass through. If you use a Mac XML
application you can extract them. Mac Office does not have a full XML
Editor in it, maybe next version.

But you won't see these in the Finder without writing an application to show
them.

Cheers
