Convert PM 6 MAC manual to PM7 Windows

[ottawa]

Hello!
I have a manual that was made with PageMaker 6.5 for mac; I want to convert this large document to Pagemaker Windows format.
What will the best method be to convert the file from Mac to windows, without having to redo the whole manual?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Maria

Hi, ottawa,

You may be lucky and by just adding the .p65 extension to the filename, PM7 will open it seamlessly.

The usual problems are fonts (missing or Mac names) and images (again missing or unknown format).
