Hi Happy Girl:
Windows XP is .doc file. The problem of incompatibility is that you have a Mac. You need to modify the .rtf file itself and send it back to her.
I recently had this same problem and it worked by the recipient modifying the .rtf file itself. Don't change to your word doc.
Another choice is to save your comments in your word file to PDF and she can read it. (Save the entire file.) Once it is in PDF, it cannot be modified, but she will see your changes.
I still use colored text for my changes and comments.
Another feature for comments in .docx (which is the newest version of MSWord) is footnotes and they can only be read in print format, not draft.
If you want to practice with me, send me something to jumpstick@earthlink.net and I'll try to help. Hopefully you've saved your comments.
regards
Artemis
