Wrayvon Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Unless i'm getting the wrong end of the stick, tiff format can be opened in corel draw and photoshop. But guessing i'm missing the point here.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Garland Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Providing it is the same extension ie .doc or .psd or .tiff it should open as thats the way the file is stored so anything able to read a .doc for example will open it on any machine.Thats my understanding anyway.

Willy Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Incompatible (sp) picture files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah, macs sometimes use TIFF files whereas PCs use TIF files... Photoshop can read them both though and I think it's more likely that you're trying to open a modern word doc on an older version of Word.

poopipe Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 embedding the images into word will f**k you over in many ways on many different operating systems / office apps - your best bet is to bring the image files home separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
