Convert files from your Mac to PC with Conversions
Plus. Open, view, print and convert virtually any file no matter where
it comes from, e.g., Word,
Excel, WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, ClarisWorks/AppleWorks, etc. Conversions
Plus is a great way to retrieve old Mac files. Don't get caught with
a file you can't open!
Use encoded or compressed files - like problem
e-mail attachments Many files you download from the Internet or receive via
e-mail are compressed to save space or encoded during transfer. Conversions
Plus can decompress or decode files with a double-click. In addition, Conversions
Plus allows you to see the contents of archives. You can then choose one
or all of the files to view, convert, etc.
Quickly view and print files Some applications take quite a while to launch, and it's
frustrating to find out that the file you waited for is not even the one you
needed. Conversions Plus will allow you to take a quick look at a file without
launching the program that created it. You can even view attachments within
Microsoft® Outlook, Outlook Express or Exchange by right-clicking
on the file within your e-mail message.
The Conversions Plus File Viewer window will give you information
about the file or let you print, launch or even convert it into another format.
If you are viewing a graphic file, you even have the ability to select a portion
of the graphic to convert rather than the whole image.
Retrieve attachments from e-mail "garbage
text" Do you get e-mails that are full of "garbage
text" like the one below?
The Internet and e-mail makes it easier than ever to share
files with people. This can sometimes cause problems with the files when
they are encoded or compressed. Conversions Plus can fix these problems and
let you work with the files you need.
Other times you are able to retrieve the attached file
from your e-mail message but can not use it. Conversions Plus will determine
the format of the file, add the correct Windows extension and allow you to
view or print it - even without the program that created it.
Convert and use files that were created in applications
you don't have Conversions Plus can convert
files from different word processing, spreadsheet, graphic and database
formats, so you can actually open and edit them in your own programs -
just as if they were created there. Document formatting such as bold, italics and
even embedded graphics are retained, so you don't have to re-type or reformat.
