I shudder every time I hear/read discussions of "workarounds" that have been suggested in this thread.
Things like converting to .rtf or transferring via AppleWorks or Open Office etc. only strengthen the PC / Windoze users sceptical attitude towards the Mac.
I work in an all PC company and I fight tooth and nail to stick with a Mac, currently using my OWN Pismo just so that I can use a Mac.
Any time I have mentioned these sort of problems throughout my Uni degree or any other job, I have been met with a rather scornful attitude, after all all the documents on the server are saved as .DOC files and accessed by Office XP. I cannot change everything I work on into .RTF or whatever just to function.
This is not critisism towards anyone, so don't get mad, I'm just reflecting on life as a Mac user in this Micro$oft dominated world.
