following:
m Open the document from within the program by choosing Open in the
program’s File menu.
m Use the PC Exchange control panel to specify which Macintosh program
will open the document.
If a DOS document is displayed incorrectly, or you see strange codes or
characters in the document, try one of the following:
m Your application program may have special procedures for opening and
saving documents with different file formats. See the information that
came with your program, or call the program’s publisher.
m Try opening the document in another program.
Note: Some characters that can be displayed on the Macintosh are not
accurately displayed on DOS computers.
