I want to transfer files containing japanese characters from
Windows Word 6.0 to MacWord 6.0, but on the Mac-side the 2-byte
SJIS-code gets interpreted as single-byte, so only garbage shows
up. I tried changing the font, but that doesn't help.

One problem might be that I am using an English version of WinWord
(although Japanese Windows) and the Japanese Version of MacWord.

Has anyone done such transfers (WinWord to MacWord or vice versa)
successfully? Or do you know a reason why it shouldn't work?

Thanks,

-Stephan
