Stress marks: Word, from PC to a Mac

[Emily Saunders]

If you don't need the receiving party (the Mac user) to be able to edit the document, then consider saving and sending as a PDF.  All the handouts I make available for my students are PDFs to avoid any font/accent cross-platform issues.

IF the person on the Mac needs to be able to edit the document, then I'm not so sure, but would be interested to know!

Have you found a system for putting in stress marks in Russian, in Microsoft Word, on a PC computer, in which the file opens easily and with the same look on a Mac platform? We have run into this problem in our program: one of us marks stress on a PC and the other one opens the file on a Mac, and encounters, in place of stress marks, slashes, hieroglyphics and other arcana. :-) Your help would be appreciated; thank you very much in advance.
