LaserGreek® CrossPlatform Converter

For Easy Transfer of LaserGreek and LaserGreek II Text Between Windows and Macintosh Computers

for Windows

for Macintosh

LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter makes collaboration between Windows and Macintosh users of LaserGreek and LaserGreek II fonts much easier than before. Now you can simply run a Word macro to convert LaserGreek and LaserGreek II text in Microsoft Word documents between Word for Windows format and Word for Macintosh format. The converter is a series of macros embedded in a Microsoft Word file. You simply copy the appropriate macros into each of the Word files you receive that contain LaserGreek text and run the macros to convert the text to the LaserGreek arrangement of your computer platform. The macros do not affect any other text in your files except the LaserGreek (and/or LaserGreek II) text, allowing you to retain your file's original formatting. The LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter makes a daunting task simple.

Have you ever received a Word-formatted file containing LaserGreek or LaserGreek II text from someone using the "other" computer platform from the one you use? (That is, you are in Windows and you receive a Word for Macintosh file, or vice versa.) When you open the Word file the Latin text and most of the Greek is fine but some of the Greek accents and breathing marks, and the text critical symbols and sigla have been corrupted. This is because Word's export/import filters are expecting all text in the document to be in the Latin 1 character set (English and west European languages), and Word does not know how to convert the LaserGreek text. Until now the only solutions were to retype the Greek portions of the document, or to carefully save the original document as plain text, transfer the document, and carefully reformat it. But the LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter allows you to send your Word documents with Greek text in them to your colleagues who use "the other computer platform", and after they run the macros in the LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter your Greek text will be perfectly formatted. This makes the LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter a valuable tool for those who are collaborating in a mixed-platform (Mac/Windows) environment.

Complete instructions for setup and use are included in the LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter User's Manual.

LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter for Windows

LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter for Windows

LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter for Windows includes 26 macros to convert LaserGreek and LaserGreek II text in Word for Macintosh documents that you have received from a Mac user, to your LaserGreek and LaserGreek II for Windows font arrangement. You simply open the Word for Mac document in Word for Windows, and with a few mouse clicks you copy the appropriate macros into the document, run the macros, and then save the document as a Word for Windows document with the Greek perfectly formatted. You do not need to do Search and Replace operations to repair corrupted Greek because the LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter for Windows corrects all the changes the Word import/export filter has made to the Greek text in your document.

Windows System Requirements:

  • bulletOperating Systems
    1. bulletRequires Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, NT 4.0, Me, 98, or 95.
  • bulletApplications
    1. bulletRequires Microsoft Word 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, 2002 (XP), 2000, or 97.
  • bulletFonts
    1. bulletThe Converter requires one or more of the LaserGreek and/or LaserGreek II fonts from Linguist's Software.
    2. bulletThe LaserGreek for Windows fonts must be version 10.0 (dated April 25, 1997). The LaserGreek II for Windows fonts must be version 2.0 (dated April 25, 1997) or newer. If your fonts are older than version 10.0/2.0 you must first update LaserGreek and/or LaserGreek II. Then the LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter can be used to convert the documents you have received from a Macintosh user.
    3. bulletHow do I find the version number?
  • bulletDocuments
    1. bulletThe documents you are going to convert must be Word for Macintosh files saved either in Rich Text Format (RTF) or as a normal Word Document.
    2. bulletThe Greek fonts used in the documents must be from LaserGreek for Macintosh version 20.0 or newer, or from LaserGreek II for Macintosh version 1.0 or newer. If the documents were created with LaserGreek for Macintosh version 19.0 or earlier, the documents must be updated on the Macintosh to current LaserGreek fonts before transferring the documents to Windows to be converted with the LaserGreek CrossPlatform Converter.
    3. bulletIf the author of the Word for Macintosh document used the Greek koppa in the document the document must be saved by the Macintosh author in Rich Text Format (RTF), instead of saving the document as a Word document. (In early versions of Word Rich Text Format is called Interchange Format.) The koppa is decimal character 0240 in LaserGreek fonts (and typed on the Macintosh with the option-shift-k keystroke). If the koppa is not in the document then the document may be saved either in RTF or as a normal Word document. If you are not sure about the presence of the koppa, and you have access to the Macintosh author, it is safer to have the documents saved in RTF before they are sent you.
  • bulletProduct Documentation
    1. bulletProduct Documentation is in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, so Adobe Reader must be installed on your computer. If you do not already have it installed, you can download Adobe Reader free from the Adobe web site.
