I have a file with AutoCorrect entries in Word made in Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.5. Now I want to move this file to Word in my PC. How can this be done? Can anyone please tell me the best way possible as I dont want to lose any data.
Hello brother,
You can easily do this job using your Mac. Simply follow these steps:
1. Open MS Office Word.
2. Go to File menu >> Open.
3. Browse for the file and open the file.
4. Once again go to File menu >> Save as.
5. Browse for the destination folder.
6. Select “Word 97-2004 Word document (.doc) format.
7. Check “Compatibility Check” in the lower left side to ensure the file’s compatibility.
8. Click “Save” to save the file.
Now, your file is compatible with any MS Word.
If you don’t have MS Office 2008 for Mac, you can download it from here.
Documents or files created with Microsoft Office for Mac are basically compatible with Microsoft Office for Windows. Both are Microsoft products and, usually, you just double-click on the Microsoft Office for Mac file to open it in Microsoft Office for Windows. But there are times the document from a Macintosh computer does not open in Microsoft Windows.
If this happens, you just have to save the file in a format compatible with Microsoft Office Word for Windows. You can save the file in “Rich Text Format” and your file should open easily in Microsoft Windows. To do this, on your Mac, start Microsoft Office Word then open the document you want. Once the file is opened, click “File” then select “Save As”.
In the Save As dialog, scroll down and look for “Rich Text Format (*.rtf)” from the “Save as type” dropdown list. Click “Save” to save the file. Now, copy the file to a Windows computer. On the Windows computer, right-click the RTF file you copied then point to “Open With” and select “Microsoft Office Word”. And that’s it.
