ReRite 6.2 to Mac OSX

[SalesServiceGuy]

Is there any reason to think that in a mixed Windows/ Apple workplace with ReRite installed on a Win PC, that Scan to Word, outputting into a .doc format cannot be read by a Apple "Word" software application?

Assuming that this will work, how can I make the ReRite Outpath visible to the Apple OSX 10.6 device? I do not want to use the Email procedure available in ReRite.

I have several Mac customers using Re-Rite without a problem, the Re-Rite is installed on a PC box and that is used for the scanning and Drag n Drop folders. One of these has a dual boot Mac/XP and has the Re-Rite installed with no issues.

For the second point, if the Out Path is a shared folder on the same network then it will be seen by the Macs in the same way as the Windows PCs.

I think I have some notes on this that I can send you when I get into the office next week, if your interested.

If your OutPath is shared, then do the following the connect your Mac to the OutPath:

1. On the Mac, Press Go
2. Click on Connect to Server
3. Enter in smb://hostname/share or smb://ipaddress/share of the Outpath Share
4. You will be asked for a username and password, so amke sure that you have one on the XP machine that the Mac can use
5. You will now connect to the share and a new icon will appear on the desktop which is the same as a mapped network drive in Windows

As for you .doc issues, are you running Microsoft Office for Mac and if so, is it updated?
