    argh!

    I think Microsoft's idea of "compatibility" is that you can just read the numbers and text, not that it lines up the same.....

    This sort of suckage is why I use PDF whenever I hand off a file created in Microsoft Oriface....

    You might try asking the client to attempt to open the file in OpenOffice, it may actually be more compatible with Mac MS-Office than Windows MS-Office appears to be....

    Also, does client have an old version of MS-Orifice?

    • argh, I see PC 2007... try a PC with newer MS-Office, I think there's Orifice 2010?vaxorcist
