Should not really be a problem...we have been moving
Office files between Windows machines and Mac machines
for as long as MS Office has existed. The only issue we
encountered, and this is really an educational one, is
teaching the Mac user how to follow convention in setting
file names. This might be where the problem is, especially
when long [Mac] file names with spaces and punctuation are
involved.
