Word on Mac problem.

Open TextEdit. Click File>Open then navigate to the file you want to open.

 

To check size, from Finder right click on the file and choose Get Info.

Get rid of the blasted thing and get a Windows machine. Macs are over rated and vastly over priced.

And so the ignorant have spoken... Seriously, Paul, there's not a lot of difference between windows an macs. I switched to macs after years of using windows machines simply because they are well-made, reliable, have UNIX as a base and, most of all, don't have a different interface every other release.

Also, this could be a Word problem, and nothing to do with whether it's an Apple or not.
