Change Font Size on Directory Report

Hello,

I searched this forum and found that one can change the font sizes on reports by exporting them as .doc files and making changes there. However, I use a MAC which does not recognize Powerchurch's "Windows Doc" export files, though I do have Mac Windows Word and Excel on my computer.

Do you have any suggestions how to save as a .doc file to Mac Word? Is it possible? I tried exporting to Excel, but
the changes are a hassle and the report still printed in tiny font - even after saving the spreadsheet with a larger font.

Thanks for your help.

FWIW ... Powerchurch exports into the old Word 97-2003 format ... I'm surprised that the MAC version of Word doesn't read that, as that is one reason why MS created the version, for interoperability. However, have you tried saving it to an RTF file, instead of MS Word. The MAC version of Word should definitely be able to read that type of format.

That said, they don't make a MAC version of Office any longer.

My mistake on the Word file issue. Mac was merely "blocking" the file, so I opened it accordingly from the task bar and saved the doc. (You are not crazy!) :) My report now has larger fonts and is ready to print.
Thanks again!
