finally persuaded a good friend to ditch his expensive, slow, constantly-crashing windows laptop, and switch to a powerbook. I have moved a decade or so of word files across for him. But I am at a loss how to convert a few things very important to him. I managed to copy over the custom dictionary, but need a way to convert Microsoft Word macros, and spelling "AutoCorrect"s to MacWord, as well as a Outlook Express address book (*.wab) and about 10,000 outlook express emails in *.dbx folders, and also the IE "favourites" which lose their format when simply copied over. Anyone know of a website or resource specialising in helping aboard new members of the Mac community by converting PC files and applications?
Given the problems, right now my friend is ready to return to his PC! thanks in advance for any help. Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
