Problem titles

[Michael McCaskey]

If it's possible to make it an MS Word attachment, using the MS Mincho font, it should be readable via both PC and Macintosh in most cases.

One other way might be to convert the material into a PDF file--a scientist parent of one of my students once did that, so I could see the student's Japanese script assignment on my PC--but that may not be as easy to do, and PDF files are read a different way via Macintosh, I think.
