140586 2003-05-01 08:23:00 I've been given a CD which is supposed to have some PageMaker-related files on it (specifically a template) from a Macintosh system. I've read that you can read Mac PageMaker files on PC, but the only files I can find don't look very promising:

AppleShare PDS
Desktop DB
Desktop DF
DesktopPrinters DB
Finder.dat
Deskto~3

Any ideas?

140587 2003-05-01 08:59:00 Hi your Suspicions were Right neither of these Files are Pagemaker Files These are Simply Files the Mac OS users to run Pagemaker Files should end with the extention
.PPD (same as PC I THINK) It would appear they gave you the wrong Files

kind regards

Thanks a lot for your help, I'll have to try to get the right files. Otherwise there'll be a bit of print-and-comparing to do :)
