Kristen,
You need a special program which can read the MAC disk and convert/save
the files to your hard drive. Several posters have already suggested some
of these programs. I recommend TRANSMAC -- it can convert in either
direction. If you have access to the WWW, you can find these types of
conversion programs at www.shareware.com.
Once you have saved the files in an IBM-format, they should load into any
application that recognizes the PC-version PageMaker file format. The
TIFF images are almost universal, there are very few programs which can
not display a tif file.
