You experience problems using a document from a DOS computer.

If you can’t open a DOS document using a Macintosh program, try the
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 (in the Control Panels folder in the

Apple [K] menu) 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.

For more information about working with DOS documents on your
Macintosh, see the information about using DOS in Macintosh Guide,
available in the Guide (h) menu.

Your computer starts up and you see large folder-shaped areas, containing labeled
pictorial buttons, instead of the usual Macintosh desktop.

m Your computer may have started up from a CD-ROM disc containing

At Ease, an alternative to the Macintosh desktop. You need to have the
Macintosh desktop on your screen before you can use any of the software
installation instructions in this manual.

To return to the Macintosh desktop, choose Shut Down from the Special
menu. When your computer is off, restart the computer, then press the
Open/Close button of your CD-ROM drive to open the tray. Remove the
CD-ROM disc. Close the tray. Then start up your computer again.

To avoid having the computer start up from a CD-ROM disc, remember to
remove any disc in the drive before you shut down your computer.
