HI, all Received a .DOC file from a MAC machine. The headline is gone, buried in a ton of # signs, the double spacing is gone, the italicizing is gone, and at the end of the file is another about 17 lines of mostly # signs. I also got a copy in WP format, which is totally hung, altho the little part I can read looks like the right format, etc. I have a complaint in to Corel. I tried to open the file in native WP (got the file both ways) and with the patch that was listed here a couple of weeks ago to make WP read .DOC files. No good either way--WP hangs. No mouse, no scroll, no clicking on anything, NOTHING. Hope to hear from Corel, but would appreciate any comments/help from anyone else. I need these capabilities, as I am an editor of a print newsletter, and I will have to go back to Windows if I can't resolve these issues. --doug
