Mac to PC files corrupted even with update

From: Leonard Mainor on 5 Jun 2010 19:30 I received several complex documents which had running tables to edit. The client uses XP 2002 for Windows, and I use Word 2004 for the Mac (System 10.5.8). When the client received my finished documents some of the tables were misaligned and some documents were corrupted. I downloaded the Microsoft update "Office2004-1150UpdateEN(2).dmg", rebooted and resent the documents and the client had the same problem opening the documents. How best should the problem be solved? -- Leonard Mainor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leonard Mainor's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/228968.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1343992.htm http://forums.techarena.in
From: Orc on 6 Jun 2010 06:52 My solution would be to use the exact same set up as your client. It doesn't matter how "compatible" the systems are supposed to be. I'm a Consultant and supply documents to clients and even where both send and receive systems list the same OS, apps and basic setup etc I get issues of format "changes" from the client. this is often due to the subtle differences in app setup and user error. Another solution is to supply the documents as non-editable PDF which means you control the format and they can't change the data, but this requires agreement and depends how they are using the document.
