- I've had luck translating large files to Microsoft Word using Software Bridge.
- I used the setting for regular Microsoft Word (5.1?) and NOT for the Mac Word.
- My wife's Mac at work was able to read those files better than the ones
- specifically for Mac Word. Just be sure you put it on a 3 1/2 diskette. I
- don't know how the accents will come across. I might suggest doing what I've
- done in Akkadian transliteration: before converting change all \e (e grave) to
- for instance a @ sign, all e/ to a & etc. Convert and then retro search and
- replace inside of Mac Microsoft Word.
