ARCHIVED: How can I convert a Macintosh document to Windows or DOS format?

In many cases, applications in Mac OS and Mac OS X use document formats that are cross-platform. They will work, with little or no conversion, in Mac OS X, Windows, and sometimes other operating systems as well. For example, you can open Microsoft Word documents in both Windows and Mac OS X. PDF, PostScript, and image and text files are largely cross-platform as well.

If you use an application that does have a Mac-specific format, you can try to create documents for other programs. In Pages, for example, you can export to Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. If your application doesn't have the built-in ability to convert documents into a format available in Windows, consider using a third-party utility such as MacLinkPlus Deluxe.
