When you need to ensure your document stays the same, convert it to a PDF file as Microsoft Word may encounter formatting issues. On Mac, you can use Word itself or another office suite to export the document as a PDF. Most apps that edit Word documents will offer the option to export it as a PDF. If you don't have an office suite, you can still open and convert the Word doc.
