My System Specs: iMac DV 400, 384 MB RAM, System 9.1 I have an AW file (actually several files) with jpeg images that I converted to RTF so I could open it with Word on a Windoze box. Every time I open the RTF file in any version of Word (Word 6, 97, 2000 and XP) on the Windoze box, the text layout is fine, but all of the images are cropped, resized, or some other anomaly. So far it's been a slight inconvience, since I can bring the jpegs along with the "RTF file" and reinsert them into the document once it's open in Word. After I spend the time to reinsert the jpegs into the Word document and save it as RTF, the new RTF files don't open properly in AW, either. In addition, if I have a document with 20 (or more) images, I don't want to have to waste the time reformatting and reinserting all the jpegs :-(
Is the problem with AW? Isn't RTF supposed to be a "universal" format? I blame M$, but maybe there is a problem with the internal AW RTF converter. I also have Word 5.1a for the Mac installed and it seems to work better for converting to RTF files for use with Windoze versions of Word. But most Word 5.1a files that I convert to RTF don't open properly in AW5, either. I have the latest version of MacLink Plus and also AW 6, but I'm waiting unitl I get the time upgrade to System X before I install them. Any comments?
