Hello all, I teach math for an online high school and this year some students are using Mathematica to do work and send me files. Sometimes I get files that Mathematica does not recognize. If I open the files with Microsoft Word and then save them as text files I can then open them just fine with Mathematica. I am using a Macintosh (iMac) and these files are coming from students with PC's. What settings in which control panels, etc. would I need to check to insure I can open up these files when they are sent to me? Or is there something the students need to do on their end? It is not a big problem as I can always get the files to open, but I figure I must be able to do it without the intermediate step. Thanks for any help you might provide, Tom De Vries Alberta, Canada
