Hi all!
My agent's computer and mine hate each other. We've always had trouble file sharing, but when I bought Microsoft Office for my Mac a while back, I hoped the problems would be solved. However, my Word will not open a file she sent me. The only way I can read it is to open the "view preview" thing. I can see the text, but not any comments she may have inserted, or Track Changes if she used it. The file is .docx so I don't see why this is a problem. I've tried converting the file in various ways but it just ends up scrambled into symbols.
I can do my reviews from the text in the preview, but it's pretty annoying, and I'd really like to see the spots where it looks like she added comments. Any help anyone can give me would be very much appreciated!
Oh, and I tried borrowing my boyfriend's PC laptop, but his Word could only access the plain text, saying certain elements were missing. Maybe she's using a very old version of Word?
