Subject: Compatibility with Macs?
The application works great for Windows, however, I'm having trouble getting this to work with Macs. The file opens OK and the text is there. However, the header and footer files are empty and no images appear. Is this a known issue with Macs? I know Macs have trouble with MHTML.

Hi, I can't answer, I don't have an environment for testing MsOffice on Mac. To investigate, maybe you could try the following : - open MsWord on Windows, save a document as mhtml, then open the same document on Mac. - do the reverse (save a MHTML doc on Mac,open it on Windows). If those experiments don't work, then unfortunately there is nothing that MsOffice-Word-HTML-Writer can do for you, because this relies on internal features of MsOffice. If,on the other hand, you can detect some differences in the HTML markup, and describe those precisely enough, then maybe it could be integrated within the module. Good luck, Laurent D.
