Copy and pasting between PC and Macintosh versions of Word

[Guest]

I am working on an Apple computer. I have copied a file originally created on
a PC using Word 2002 for XP onto my Apple, and then opened it using Word 1998
for Macintosh. Will I lose any information or cause other problems if I
select-copy-paste from the file created with 2002-XP into a file created
using 1998-Macintosh?

It all depends on the content of the PC document. Save as a different name,
and the try it! Nothing to loose...

Hello-

If you mean copying portions of the WinWord doc and pasting into the MacWord
doc, there should be no problem at all. No effect on the WinWord doc, but if
you are prompted to save change when you close the file, click NO.

If you are unomfortable with that, opent the WinWord file on your Mac, then
Save As in your MacWord format and work from it.
