Hello,
I can't open files created with NeoOffice and saved as MS Office Word 97 under MacOs X Tiger. When I Try to open these files with Word 97 under MacOs 9, the software can't recognize the file, which seems to be damaged.
When I make the same operation with Office, that goes perfectly. Does
somebody know why?

When you save the files, what format are you using in the popup menu? Word 98 (I assume you're referring to the old Mac version) may not be able to successfully open up PC formatted Word 97 files. You might want to try choosing the "Word 6" explicit format and see if that one's compatible.
Neo/J (and OpenOffice.org) claim interoperability only with the various Windows versions of Office. The Mac Office versions have historically (and still) have incompatibilities with their Windows counterparts, and those incompatibilities will also be experienced with any files exported in Office formats from either NeoOffice/J or OpenOffice.org Mac OS X (X11).
