[OT] Microsoft Office : PC versus Mac

[Trevor J. Hutley]

I have a friend who, as a result of seeing my Ti-500 demonstrated and 
in action, is thinking of moving from PC laptop to Mac.

A Switcher !

But many people have told him that Microsft Office (specifically 
Word) documents are not comaptible between PC and Mac.  Since these 
are the dociuments that are the mainstay of his work (as a 
consultant) he is now worried about switching.

As far as I know, the Office documents since 1997 have been using the 
same file format, PC or Mac, and so there should be no compatibility 
issues, these days.

Does anyone have anything tosay about this, or any Link to point me 
to, for "Chapter and Verse" on the compatibility issue.

This would be make-or-break information, as to whether my friend switches.

All insight welcome.

Many thanks.

regards,  Trevor
