Others have given you good answers to this, but I don't think anyone has mentioned graphics.

The PC and Mac editions of FrameMaker have different sets of graphics import filters: many graphics formats can be imported by both versions, but there are a few exceptions. For example, the Mac cannot import BMP files. However, if a file for which a graphics filter is missing on one platform is round-tripped, all should be well when it is opened again on the platform that does have the required graphic filter.
