[dba-Tech] Word for Mac Templaes

I will concur. It has been a few years since I tried to migrate anything to
Mac and I would suspect the process should be easier now. 

Maybe someone who actually has a Mac could answer that question seeing there
is a Mac and PC word versions out there.

Hi Bryan,

I did that a few years ago for a client, with somewhat disappointing 
results.  In particular, the placement of elements did not remain 
correct, as I recall.  I was working on a letterhead, which included a 
logo and other stuff.  The logo wouldn't stay where I put it when I 
brought the template from my WinXP, Office 2003 environment and put it 
in his Max OS(9 or 10 - not sure) environment.  Oh, yes, I embedded a 
font, and that didn't work, either.  Haven't tried it since then.
