Don't DO anything. The Mac is better equipped to convert word to Mac
Quirk. I'm assuming, of course (always a dangerous course) that you are
using Word 97 and your client is using Word 98. If he's not
using Word at all, you're probably better off just sending him a plain
text file.
If you require more information, do not hesitate to contact me off list.
