Subject:Re: Receiving Word 6 files From:John Posada <JOHN -dot- POSADA -at- EY -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 19 Aug 1997 13:23:48 -0400
>>I have been able to receive and open Word files from him; however, when he
opens my returned file with changes, it was nothing but garbage--no real text.<<
Let me make a guess...you have Word 97, and you didn't save a Word6/95. Word97
will open Word 6 or 7 (95) versions, but not the otjher way unless you change
your default save setting. When you do a normal save, you save in 97 format,
which is not the same. Change your Save As to match his.
