Anyone have any idea on how I can convert Mac files to open with my Word2000?<br>
I already got Macdrive98 to read the disk but I need to get to the files now any Ideas would be helpful...<br>
<br>
thanks in advance <br>

I'll give you a response that works with Office 97 and hope it still applies. <br>

There are a couple of options here. If you don't have too many files, rename them on the Mac to include the proper file extension (.doc, xls, etc). <br>
<br>
Otherwise, open the appropriate Office application and do file/open and look at all files. <br>
<br>
A shortcut to this: create shortcuts to Word, Excel, and Powerpoint on your Windows Desktop. Then, click and drag the Mac files over to the correct application. Works quick and well.<br>

PS. Why do you need MacDrive? Use PC disks in your Mac, unless you have a REALLY old Mac.
