Just open them in the respective Apple application. The original Word or Excel document is unchanged and is translated into the Pages or Numbers document format. Apple does not guarantee the quality of translation and any fonts referenced in the Microsoft documents must be physically installed on the Mac to avoid Time News Roman font substitution.


As Apple's applications are not clones of their Microsoft counterparts, nor support all of the features, your conversion results will vary by the document.
