OS X 10.4.11 -- can't import files from Word

[quills at airmail.net]

Though if you have an Intel Mac an upgrade to OS X 10.5 will give you Bootcamp, and the ability to run Windows 
natively. I know that begs the question, as then you have to have a copy of Windows, and a copy of FM for Windows. At 
least it allows you to move back and forth. The other method is to use Parallels or VMFusion and you can boot only 
once and use FM for Windows with the other Mac specific programs that you use, which is a nice way to be able to work.
